Vitrum 2019, all the scheduled events

A highlight of Vitrum 2019 is the thought-provoking, fact-filled calendar of in-depth Seminars on crucial topics of general and specific interest to glass industry professionals. Four informative, galvanizing events featuring high-profile speakers will offer trade professionals a valuable opportunity to share and compare and get up-to-date on the most cutting-edge technology and also preview possible future scenarios implementing that technology, the various technical standards of reference and the options for safeguarding proprietary company data.

“This year, we envisioned an even more feature-filled series of seminars for Vitrum” remarks Vitrum Director, Laura Biason. “In addition to the well-established ‘What’s hot’, where companies present their most brilliant technologies, we will cover topics like cybersecurity, product compliance and international technical standards. We wanted to make participation in the seminars more convenient by setting aside an area for them in pavilion 5, so everyone can make the best use of their visit time, reconciling business with training and information. Participation in the seminars is free and open to all industry professionals, but on-line registration is required”, concludes Biason.

All the seminars will be held in the brand-new Meeting Area in Pavilion 5 (Stand V21-Z30). For information go to https://www.vitrum-milano.com/en/news/vitrum-2019-seminars/. To participate, register using the links indicated.
