The Chairman of the Glass Performance Days Organizing Committee Jorma Vitkala analyzes glass industry developments and trends by reviewing the state-of-the-art as reflected by the GPD 2015 Conference
The Glass Performance Days (GPD) is an independent forum dedicated to the development of the global glass industry through education. This is achieved by holding conferences in different countries. Currently the main conference takes place every two years in Finland (where GPD also holds workshops and a glass exhibition). In 2016, GPD will be in the Caribbean Region with GPD CUBA on 6th December, in conjunction with CUBA GLASS, which will be held 6 and 7 December in Havana.
In addressing the future challenges facing glass design, construction and glass industry solutions Jorma Vitkala makes broad-based use of the 140 presentations of the conference and proceedings in a special Executive Summary of the highlights of the GPD in June 2015. The GPD has developed into the hub of the international glass industry as the leading forum for the presentations of innovations, new technologies, new industrial practices and above all energy-efficient solutions in the service of construction, design and interior decorating applications. The total number of addresses at the interactive conference sessions and workshops was around 140.
