Take What You Know and Watch It Grow
Glass Expo Midwest™ has become a staple event for the Midwest architectural glass industry. Placing a focus on high-quality education and affordable opportunities for the past 15 years, Glass Expo Midwest will be returning to Chicago in a whole new format.

Select your space on our expanded show floor; visit with your current customers; reach out to new faces; and broaden your sales horizon. Be sure to dedicate time to covering your latest products, top-sellers and what sets you apart from your competitors.

Unwind at the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center
Located in suburban Chicago, the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center offers a contemporary design with rooms wired for business, but designed for comfort, with flat-screen TVs and high-speed Internet.

Chicago — A Place Where Growth is Encouraged
Chicago has been a business hub since the 18th century. The local attractions, business benefits and welcoming architecture make Chicago a destination both exhibitors and attendees can appreciate and enjoy. A few items Chicago holds over other event locations:

• Approximately 12.9 million people live within an easy two-hour drive;
• Nearly 46 million people live within a one-day drive;
• 13.7 million people travel to Chicago on business every year – more than any other U.S. destination; and
• Chicago has 310,000 business establishments and more than 30 Fortune 500 headquarters.

Why Move To Springtime Glass Expo Midwest?
The industry wanted a strong Spring event rather than in the Fall due to the crowded nature of that season with so many other shows taking place. Glass Expo Midwest sought to fill this need for exhibitors and attendees alike.

The Seeds You’ll Sow with Glass Expo Midwest™ 2010

• Save money, time and have a successful ROI.

With air travel becoming more problematic, and people’s time at a premium, it is more convenient for attendees to view the latest products and services at Glass Expo Midwest, which attracts attendees with purchasing power – 88 percent owners and managers, 10 percent technicians and 2 percent other.

Secondly, with the cost of an “in-person-sale call” rising, Glass Expo Midwest allows your sales staff to meet with current customers and potential ones at very little cost.

Finally, Glass Expo Midwest is growing in every way. This event typically attracts between 800 to 1,200 attendees depending on its location.

Spring Up and Stand Out
With the revised format and new dates, this event is bound to be one of your year’s best investments. As such, be sure to get in early for the best location of your booth. While your customers will find you anywhere on the floor, let your potential customers have the advantage of seeing you first.

It Is Easy To Be Green
Glass Expo Mewest 2010 also will be hosting a new Get Green product/service area where all exhibitors with green items may place additional literature near the registration area.

Giveaways Keep Them Coming
New this year for Glass Expo Midwest, we will give away a door prize every other hour. These will range from iPods, cameras, big screen TVs, printers, computers, round trip air-fare for two and other fine electronics to keep the attendees where you want them, on the show floor.

New Faces Popping Up On The Show Floor
Glass Expo Midwest 2010 also is working in conjunction with Architects’ Educational Forum providing a full day of specialty CEU courses for architects only. As a benefit for their registration to the program, they will have access to see you on the show floor of Glass Expo Midwest on Wednesday, March 17.

DWM magazine will be hosting a complete day of fenestration seminars on Tuesday, March 16, and the attendees of this program will also receive the added benefit of having the ability to walk the show floor of Glass Expo Midwest.

You will have the chance to meet all the Glass Expo Midwest attendees plus these two specialty groups with your one low exhibit space cost.
