Greater Columbus Convention Center, Ohio, USA
Hosted November 6–9, 2017 at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, the 78th Conference on Glass Problems (GPC) is the largest glass manufacturing conference in North America, attracting glass manufacturers and suppliers worldwide to exchange innovations and solutions.
The Glass Manufacturing Industry Council (GMIC), in partnership with Alfred University, co-organize the conference.
The GPC is devoted to the technical issues facing professionals responsible for the successful operations of glass manufacturing companies and features two full days of invited and contributed talks in parallel with the 11th Advances in Fusion and Processing of Glass symposium.
The inception of the symposium on Advances in Fusion and Processing of Glass (AFPG) was in the late 1980s as an initiative between Alfred University and Deutsche Glastechnische Gesellschaft (DGG) on behalf of The American Ceramic Society (ACerS) and its Glass and Optical Materials Division (GOMD).
In 2017, the ACerS-GOMD and the Glass Manufacturing Industry Council (GMIC) are jointly organizing the AFPG symposium.
The symposium will have two full days of invited as well as contributed talks, in parallel to the GPC, enabling attendees the opportunity to participate in both events.
The AFPG symposium addresses the latest developments in the field of glass processing with a strong emphasis on glass melting, attracting researchers, engineers, and experts from both academia and industry who are active in the field.
