With GlassBuild America only 3 weeks away I wanted to
dedicate this weeks post to the show. So
this won’t be my typical posting… we’ll return to normal next week.
In any case with regards to GlassBuild this is usually the
time that many make their final decision on whether or not to attend. I know mostly everyone is very busy, but if
you want to improve yourself and your business, you will make the call to be in
Atlanta on September 12th to the 14th. Here are few reasons why…
Overall Education:
This is a one-stop wonderland for everything you want to
know with regards to product, equipment, services and more. Below I will break out a few channels where
you can gain critical knowledge and insights. There is something for everyone
no matter what end of the business you are in.
Glazing Executive Forum:
The collaboration here is incredible. For a glazier this is invaluable. Also the economic forecast and the state of
the industry pieces are very helpful.
Plus a special 25 years of Top 50 Glazier survey review will be quite
interesting.
Express Learning:
These 20-minute sessions are perfect for quick on the go
information and with every speaker easily accessible you can always reach out
for more later. There are great topics
and speakers scheduled and I’m looking forward to sessions hosted by CR
Laurence, Quanex, YKK and GED. Also I am
humbled and honored to have a spot speaking on Thursday, a dream come true for
me to speak at the show!
Cam Marston:
Keynote speaker open to all attendees. Those who saw him in the past raved about the
lessons he brought. Well worth your
time. His talk on the multi-generational
work place is something that is fresh and important to grasp and
understand.
Networking:
Packed floor with also a large attendee based expected means
tons of potential connections all in one place.
It is simply the best opportunity to meet suppliers and customers and
get to know potential targets on both.
In Booth Demonstrations:
This is something that you get by walking the floor. There’s always demonstrations happening and
you learn as you go. I know the team
from Bohle America will have a ton happening and newcomers to the show like Glass
Renu promise to impress with hands on demonstrations that will surely give you
ideas and angles for your business.
Machinery:
Last but not least there’s the machinery angle. Every player in our world will be represented
and they all come with their best foot forward.
GlassBuild unfairly gets a rap that it’s more of a machinery show than
anything else. But that’s not exactly
the case. The reason people think that
is the machinery guys come with amazing exhibits and machines tuned up and
working. Its eye catching and
impressive. I fully expect those booths
to be very busy because right now it seems like every one is looking to replace
and/or expand what they have. This
includes glazing installation equipment all the way to fabrication machinery. It’s all there….
In the end I know you are busy. Every one is for the most part. And the thought of spending a day or two out
of the office is frightening. But this
event brings the best of the best out in our industry and supplies you with the
information and networking that makes you better. I believe that is surely worth your
time!
If you have any questions or need more insight on the show,
please reach out to me… I am always glad to help!
