San Diego is a beautiful destination, but from 13 to 15 january it’s “the destination” for everyone in the glass industry: in San Diego there is the NGA 2020 Annual Conference!
The conference is a precious opportunity to help define industry standards and create expertise that advances the use of architectural glass; a privileged point of view on glass technology trends, and a great occasion to develop new resources and ideas.
For us, at Mappi, Fall Conference is more exciting than usual, because we have the pleasure to be sponsor.
Don’t miss the chance: 2020 Annual Conference January 13, 2020 – January 15, 2020.
