Conference Focuses on Technical, Education
by Ashley M. Charest

During the week of August 23rd, industry leaders will converge on the Kansas City Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., for a four-day technical and education session that has long been an active working meeting for all committees, subcommittees and task groups of the Glass Association of North America (GANA). The 2010 event will be no exception, allowing ample time for each division to meet, discuss and act on issues of vital importance to the glass and glazing industry.

Considering one of GANA’s primary objectives is education, the GANA Fall Conference will introduce a new educational component that features GANA/AIA continuing education programs. On Tuesday, August 24, GANA will host architects from the local Kansas City AIA Chapter for a three-hour continuing education program that highlights the association’s newest program, Introduction to Decorative Glazing, with an additional session on Fire-Rated Glazing Today. All GANA Fall Conference attendees will be encouraged to attend, not only to network with architect attendees, but to experience firsthand the education that GANA offers to the industry and its membership, ultimately providing access to the customer and imparting valuable education.
