Glassex, the annual pilgrimage for the window, door and conservatory sectors, takes place next month. The organisers are promising the most even balance of exhibitors for years, while seminars are expected to draw public sector specifiers

The 26th Glassex is promising to deliver the most even balance of exhibitors - and therefore products and services - for years. No one sector can be singled out as being over-dominant, with an excellent spread of companies showing a huge range of the latest, state-of-the-art products and services designed to sharpen the competitive edges of the thousands of visitors that will pour through the doors from the 5th to 8th March.

Glassex '06 is far more than a trade market however, these days also assuming the mantle of educator, trainer and entertainer, in addition to the ‘glazing friends reunited' function that it performs so well.

The Glassex Seminars have now been developed into three streams to offer focus for all delegates. The Glassex Challenge will again provide interest for Glassex visitors, and exhibitors taking a few moments away from their stands.

The event also sees the third outing of the Glassex Conservatory Design Competition, which has succeeded in parading some quite extraordinary conservatories, and glass structures.

Our comprehensive preview of Glassex 2006 will be published next month.
