Glass Performance Days in Tampere, Finland, 13-15 June
The world's largest conference for the glass industry will focus on glass
architecture and the environmental impact of buildings
Glass plays a key role in modern facades and structural solutions in buildings.
The use of glass has expanded from mere window solutions to a whole new level.
At its best, glass is a building material that offers high-tech solutions for
buildings. Glass creates added value for a building's overall appearance,
effectiveness and environmental impact. The Glass Performance Days (GPD)
conference, to be held in Tampere, Finland, on 13-15 June, brings together the
world's leading glass industry experts.
As one of the world's leading glass industry conferences GPD brings together
all of the different stakeholders in the glass processing chain. This year over
500 of the industry's decision-makers, experts and architects from all over the
world are expected to attend the conference.
The GPD has a huge influence on the development of the glass processing
industry. The conference will feature around 180 presentations given by glass
industry experts, complemented by around 20 workshops, offering participants
hands-on knowledge and practical information. In addition, participants can
review the latest glass innovations at the Glass Expo product exhibition.
The GPD is held in Tampere every two years; this year's conference is the
fourteenth. The conference attracts the most renowned experts in their fields.
This time, the conference workshops will present, among other things, the Louis
Vuitton Foundation 'Glass Sails' building project in the Jardin d'Acclimatation
in Paris and the Freedom Tower - WTC Tower One project in New York.
The Glass Sails building features 12 glass sails consisting of 13,500 square
metres of curved glass and 3,527 glass panels. The WTC Tower One workshop will
cover facade solutions developed by the architect, the history of the WTC
building and its reconstruction.
The event is organised by Glaston Corporation, supported by a number of
international glass industry companies. Further information on the programme is
