NGA Extends GlassBuild Connect Through 2020
NGA announced that GlassBuild Connect will continue through December 2020, providing registered attendees on-demand access to more than 70 education presentations, and products and services from 300-plus exhibiting companies at GlassBuild.com. The announcement came at the conclusion of the month-long glass and fenestration online event that drew thousands of attendees from across the world.
NGA will modify its NGA Glass Conference: Clearwater Beach event to take place online on Tuesday, Feb. 9, 2021. This shift is due to the continued precautions surrounding travel and group gatherings because of the pandemic. “Protecting the industry is an ever-expanding realm of activity that now includes keeping our members, volunteers and staff safe,” says Nicole Harris, NGA president & CEO.
MFG Day shows students, parents, teachers and community leaders what a career in modern manufacturing looks like, and empowers manufacturers to come together to address their collective challenges so they can help their communities and future generations thrive.

Allow me to please take a quick look backwards, especially for those of you new folks who found me thanks to GlassBuild.
