Express Learning is back once again on the trade show floor of GlassBuild America: The Glass, Window and Door Expo. Since launching in 2014, these 20-minute educational sessions have been providing standing-room-only crowds with specific product- and business-related information they can use to build more profitable companies.
The 2019 lineup for these popular “TED Talks”-style educational sessions cover a wide range of valuable education and insights from labor and codes to forecasts, threats, and product trends.
All Express Learning presentations are free to attend with GlassBuild America trade show admission.
New this year is a live Edify Studios Podcast that will offer AIA Learning Units in the HSW category.
