“Top Glass West brings together the people who work with these requirements every day, making it an ideal place to discuss what’s changing,” said Roberts. “I’m looking forward to sharing what we’re hearing in the code and standards committees, and talking with attendees about what those changes could mean for their projects and businesses.”
