Safti First hosts first - ever Architectural glazing summit in San Francisco

The Architectural Glazing Summit is a half-day educational conference where architects, specifiers and contract glaziers can learn about the latest advances in glazing technology and design. SAFTI FIRST, Viracon, Wausau Window and Wall Systems and W&W Glass, LLC will each be presenting an AIA registered program at this event, giving attendees the opportunity to earn multiple AIA/CES LUs, HSW and SD credits across a broad range of topics. There is no cost to attend this premiere educational event.

“As a manufacturer of technologically advanced glazing, we are very committed to educating the architectural and building communities on the performance and code-compliant usage of our products,” says William O’Keeffe, President and CEO of SAFTI FIRST. “We are very fortunate to have Viracon, Wausau and W&W share in this goal by partnering with us in this event, and we are also thankful for the additional support that we received from Schott and AIA San Francisco.”

So far, the response for the event has been very positive. “Registration was full a month before the event,” says Diana San Diego, Director of Marketing for SAFTI FIRST. “We plan on taking the Architectural Glazing Summit to different cities across the country starting next year. We are very excited to take this on the road.” For a list of presentation topics and presenter bios, please click here: http://www.safti.com/ags/schedule.html
