GlassBuild America Set to Break Records in Atlanta

WASHINGTON, DC, August 16, 2007— GlassBuild America: The Glass, Window & Door Expo is pleased to announce that it is expecting a record-breaking event in Atlanta, September 10-12, 2007 at the Georgia World Congress Center.

The event will feature 538 exhibiting companies occupying 218,840 square feet of exhibit space—the highest number in GlassBuild America history. 130 new exhibiting companies are participating, as well as 154 exhibiting companies from outside the U.S.

“Along with our highest number of exhibitors to date, we're also very pleased with our pre-registration numbers this year—so far our overall registration is higher than this same time last year, and that trend has been consistent since registration opened,” reports Denise Sheehan, VP of Industry Events. “Looking at all of our various industry segments, the demographics are right on target with what we saw last year, so we know it's going to be a great show!”

GlassBuild America 2007 will highlight many activities over the course of the 3-day event. Segmented industry educational tracks will occur daily, as well as the day-long Glazing Executives Forum hosted by NGA, a program focusing on insulating glass hosted by IGMA, and a special breakfast and presentation for architects, held in collaboration with the AIA Georgia Chapter, will take place on Tuesday. The show floor itself has some new twists with an Auto Glass Pavilion, featuring a NASCAR race car and an appearance by racing legend Rusty Wallace and his son, Steve Wallace; Microsoft will have their “Across America Truck” on the show floor showcasing their latest technologies; the Connection Cafes will allow both exhibitors and attendees alike to connect with each other or the folks back home; and live educational demonstrations will take place on the show floor daily.
