WASHINGTON, DC, September 1, 2005—GlassBuild America: The Glass, Window & Door Expo is pleased to announce that it is expecting record attendance at its upcoming event to be held September 13-15, 2005 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta. Nearly 6,200 participants have already pre-registered, with final attendance anticipated to be over 8,000.

The event will feature over 450 exhibiting companies occupying 215,000 square feet of exhibit space on the trade show floor, as well as nearly 20 educational seminars and demonstrations, an opening cocktail reception, a two-day architect symposium, and a two-day symposium on preventing insulating glass failures.

"With less than 3 weeks to go, we are very excited about these numbers—the momentum has been building for the past several months, and now it's almost here!" said Denise Sheehan, VP of Industry Events for NGA. "We attribute this success to the efforts of our exhibitors and industry associations in promoting and marketing this show."
