Nickie West , organiser of Glass Conference says : “ The countdown to the inaugural Glass Conference is well and truly on … We ’ re so excited to bring this first-class two-day conference and networking event to the industry , in partnership with the GGF and FENSA . “ The quality of the speakers and content that is being covered across both days of the conference programme , couple with the plethora of additional and genuinely exclusive benefits for Glass Conference delegate , make for an unmissable industry event . “ Alongside tackling the issues that matter most to the industry , we ’ re committed to driving actionable change . This is embodied in our strapline ; ‘ Shaping today , framing the future ’, and a key driving force behind many of the programme features around networking and debating alongside the entire supply chain .
“ Collaboration is key and we ’ ve worked hard with our partners to ensure that we have a strong representation from every corner of the industry in the room across the two days , with a particular focus on installers who are all too often underrepresented in the room when these conversations are taking place .
“ We ’ re excited to bring the entire industry together for the inaugural Glass Conference next month .”
