All of them showed up with specific interest and demand...it was very effective and exciting for our team! - Florian Doebbel, business development manager, Facades, Sika Corporation, Lakewood, NJ

“GlassBuild America is a chance to meet and learn something from other people. The last two days I met many good people with something to say about our industry and the current business environment.” - Tom Whitaker, president, Mr. ShowerDoor, Stratford, CT

"We were so busy the entire show. Thank you for putting on such a fantastic event." - Sofia Bower, Director of Operations, SPH Global LLC, Houston, TX
