If you have ever seen the movie “Step Brothers” the title of this short blog should be all you need to read if you want to know just how big of a deal GlassBuild is. These three action-packed days in September are the single largest gathering of glazing professionals and product displays in North America each year. If you are in the market for glass handling equipment or machinery, it is the best place to shop and find out what will work right for you and your team.
GlassBuild is the only time of the year when every manufacturer has their equipment on display in the same room. As a customer there is no other place in the United States where you can see the huge amount of equipment or machines up close and in person. At the SmartLift US booth we will have our full line of machines on display for customers to see the SmartLift Difference. When investing in capital purchases doing your research is the difference in purchasing the right or wrong machine for your team.
When you are at planning your trip for GlassBuild here are a few things you MUST DO:
- Download the Glass Build America App. Every question you have about the show will be found in the app.
- Have a Plan: If this is your first or 20th year attending, the best way to get the most out of your show is to have a plan. With the massive show floor and thousands of people it is very easy to miss out on different activities.
- Talk to everybody: We are all in this trade together. One thing that I love about the Glazing Industry is the amount of amazing people in it. Take advantage of this time meeting as many people as you can.
- Don’t Eat Dinner Alone: When the show is over it does not mean it’s time to hit the hotel bed. I personally love getting to talk to colleagues and customers while not always having to talk about the “job”. If you are looking for a great dessert, visit PittyPats Porch for their Peach Cobbler (Trust me you will be thanking me later.)
- Come by and say Hi at the SmartLift US booth. I can’t wait to talk to you!
GlassBuild will always hold a special place for the SmartLift US team as this is where we debuted the equipment to the American market just three short years ago. From attending these events it has helped us meet customers from coast to coast and forever change the way glass and windows are handled and installed moving forward. Hope to see you at this year’s show.
