The Glass Performance Days (GPD), the biggest glass industry conference, brought together for June 12–15 industry decision-makers, experts and architects from over 60 countries. During those days, leading glass industry experts gave about 300 presentations. In addition, GPD guests were able to update their know-how in workshops, acquaint themselves with the industry’s most innovative solutions in the Glass Expo product exhibition and network in various social activities. This year’s GPD presented a new Architect Forum.

American architect James Carpenter gave a presentation on the significance of light for building design. “Daylight is a public resource, the use of which should take into consideration both the users of the buildings and those moving in their surroundings.

More information about GPD 2009 will be released soon.
