It’s fi tti ng that the scope of this conference is equally extensive, covering a wide range of industry interests. The Glass Manufacturing Industry Council (GMIC), the leading trade associati on bridging glass segments, in partnership with Alfred University, the leading American glass teaching and research insti tuti on, co-organize the conference, with programming directi on provided by an industry advisory board. Bob Lipetz, MBA GPC technical sessions address manufacturing issues, citi ng real world data from manufacturers and soluti ons Conference Director Glass Manufacturing Industry Council providers. Additi onal value-rich resources are available, such as our two short courses on Combusti on and on Fundamentals of Batch and Furnace Operati ons. Off ering the technical symposium, Asset Durability and Cost Control for Glass Manufacturing Furnaces, as a full day session, allows us to off er a deep dive into the topic. As a technical conference, the proceedings manuscripts are made available to att endees and for publicati on. Almost as valuable as what is learn in lecture halls, is perhaps, the best opportunity for glass manufacturing industry networking and exhibiti ng in North America, where leading soluti ons providers come together with all segments of glass manufacturers at our social events, booth exhibits, hospitality salons and booths.
