Cabling Installation Expo `98 kicked off bright and early October 12 with a Structured Cabling Marketplace seminar that was sponsored by Cabling Installation & Maintenance magazine. Held at the Georgia International Convention Center in Atlanta, the seminar featured presentations from five industry experts, including Arlyn S. Powell, Jr., group editorial director for PennWell, which publishes Cabling Installation & Maintenance (see "Seminar spotlights concerns of contractors, December 1998, page 47). The Grand Opening of Cabling Installation `98 and reception, later that day, featured the latest products from more than 150 exhibitors. The exhibits were on display every day during the three-day event, which was held in conjunction with the bicsi Cabling Workshop Program. The workshops featured courses on testing and troubleshooting cooper, training, tools, standards, next steps in the category system, and developing bids and jobs quotations.
