Two hands-on learning experiences will be offered during the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) Fall Conference, taking place October 6 to 9 in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
During the Glass Products Council Workshop on October 8, participants will have the chance to see a demonstration of glass deflection and glass tools used for pressure adjustments to prevent seal failure, maintain thermal performance, avoid glass breakage and more. Later that day, participants are invited to attend the popular FGIA Products Showcase, where companies will show off their latest products hands-on and in-person. The preliminary schedule for the conference is available, and registration is open now.
“Both of these hands-on events give conference participants the chance to see products up close and better understand different features of these products,” said Florica Vlad, FGIA Events Manager. “Plus, at the Product Showcase, those who wish to diversify their supply chains can visit multiple potential vendors and suppliers in one location.”
GPC Hands-on Workshop
Learn best practices for managing the internal pressure of insulating glass units, from proper measurement techniques to component compatibility. This workshop will host four stations. There, leaders will demonstrate pressure compensation system in use, view examples of different insulating glass unit spacers and sealants, understand how a vacuum gas fill press works and more.
FGIA Product Showcase
The FGIA Product Showcase and Reception will be held on Tuesday, October 7. This hands-on event will provide conference participants with the opportunity to network while viewing product solutions and technologies in person. Companies considering making changes to their current supply chains may benefit from this event by making connections with the suppliers available to answer questions.
