Dear Fabricating Professional,
I wanted to share some perspective as a fellow fabricator.
Goldray Glass has always been a big supporter of GlassBuild America as the largest glass and fenestration trade show in North America. Over the years, we have received so much value from exhibiting, providing and taking advantage of educational opportunities, and certainly in attending the show every year.
This year promises to be a special year for GlassBuild and will be the first time that we can all get together in a safe environment for over a year. For me, the chance to reunite with friends and peers in the glass industry is motivation enough to attend!
GlassBuild is first and foremost a place to gather and learn ways in which we can advance our businesses. It represents the largest showroom in North America; 187,000 square feet of show floor with hundreds of exhibitors displaying over 3 million pounds of the latest products, equipment, and machinery. We are also co-locating the NGA Glass Conference and the Glazing Executives Forum so you can truly make the most of your time in Atlanta.
Here are some highlights of what you can expect at GlassBuild this year:
NGA Glass Conference
An opportunity to be among peers from across the supply chain and time for collaborative discussions. Topics include building and school security, bird-friendly glazing options, standards and codes updates, global warming potential, anisotropy, shower enclosures and more.
Glazing Executives Forum
At this one-day conference, leaders of contract glazing and full-service glass companies come together to learn and share best business practices, along with an opportunity to walk the GlassBuild America trade show floor.
Equipment from around the world
See best-in-class products and machines from 15 countries, all under one roof.
New and existing products and software
Most GlassBuild exhibitors use the show to launch new products and most attendees are there to see what’s new. It’s a great place to source new vendors AND network with new prospects.
Industry relationships
Relationships are how our businesses are run. Meet others in our industry and see how we can collaborate for success.
In short, I invite you to join me in Atlanta and let’s get back to business! The show takes place September 13-15. You can register at glassbuild.com.
