glasstec Virtual: Exhibitor web sessions, conference & matchmaking

The international glass industry will meet at glasstec VIRTUAL, the new digital networking platform, from October 20 – 22, 2020. During that time, the glasstec VIRTUAL Showroom will become the most important point of contact for potential customers and decision-makers from the glass sector. Over 750 exhibitors will be presented there with their products, solutions and applications.

“The exhibitor profiles have long existed as a digital add-on service for our exhibitors. But particularly now, when we cannot meet personally, this digital point of contact gains new importance. If I want to serve customers competently, I need an attractive and informative online appearance. By extending these add-on features and services in the Exhibitor Showroom we have further adapted the spectrum of presentation options to the needs of our customers,” stated Birgit Horn, Project Director glasstec.

One highlight will be the exhibitors’ live web sessions. The interactive format permits the presentation of products and innovations but also personal exchange with customers – independent of the location and in real time.

The page will be filled gradually and will consist of a comprehensive portfolio on all three days when glasstec VIRTUAL starts on October 20.  After successful registration for the selected web session, participants will receive a link for the relevant sessions by e-mail along with the time and date.  Zoom conference software will be used for streaming the web sessions.

Matchmaking at the Networking Plaza
The Matchmaking Tool is ideal when it comes to remaining in close contact during and after glasstec VIRTUAL. By enquiring about specific areas of interest and extensive filter functions it provides direct contact with potential customers and partners. After making an appointment, personal conversations between exhibitors and customers can take place in a virtual room either by audio or video.
