First SGE Technical Seminar -Measured Success

The Seminar was targeted to safety glass professionals to exploit and learn more about tempering and gravity bending processes. The seminar presenters, Mr. Jonathan Barr and Mr. Mika Eronen competence as true professionals in their own areas of expertise was proven by the participant survey results. Both experts were pleased to share their knowledge to active participants and therefore the seminar was full of interaction, open discussions and finally networking among professionals from different companies, countries and segments of safety glass industry.

Technical seminar exceeded expectations and beyond. Every seat was sold out in advance and seminar was interactive session throughout the day. Every participant got a full package of hands-on information including minimum 80 lesson slides that can be used later as a backup. Overall satisfaction rate of the event was 8,1 scale being 1-10, where 10 presents excellent.
