"We've recognized the importance of the Glazing Executives Forum for some time, in particular its emphasis on evolving best practices; so it just made sense for us to take on a more proactive, engaged role. We're excited to be a part of the 2012 event."

The NGA's 7th Annual Glazing Executives Forum, presented by the NGA Architectural Glazing Committee and held in conjunction with GlassBuild America: The Glass, Window, and Door Expo®, will take place on Thursday, September 13, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The day-long event features dynamic and informative speakers, peer-to-peer sharing, and fresh updates on challenging topics impacting the industry. It has become the most important annual networking opportunity for leaders of the glazing industry.

"We're very pleased to welcome NSG aboard as a sponsor," said David Walker, Vice President at the National Glass Association. "They are an outstanding company, a global leader in the glass industry, and their support of the Forum is yet another indication of its importance to the industry. This year's event is going to be our best yet, hands down, and the level of interest we're generating from glaziers and sponsors alike underscores that."
