Last week, as you probably know, was a big week week for the glass industry. It began with the big trade show in Atlanta and wrapped with GANA's Fall Conference. Thousands of people from across North America and even a good number from other countries around the world traveled there to see what was new in the industry.

Key Communications, publisher of USGlass magazine, launched a digital version of the magazine, as well as Door & Window Manufacturer magazine. This means subscribers won't have to wait for the issues to arrive in the mail as they will arrive right in their email in-box when the issue goes to press. It's a great way for the international glass market to keep up with the industry, too, since there's no country-to-country shipping involved. The industry, as we all know, is becoming an increasingly global place to do business.

The GANA Fall Conference saw a good bit of work and progress, too. The group's newest division, the decorative, which is celebrating its one-year anniversary, is quickly growing in terms of membership and participation. During last Friday's meeting participants were literally jumping out of their seats to get involved. Headed by Kris Vockler with ICD and another USGNN blogger, the group is off to a great start and making lots of progress. Be sure and check out the November issue of USGlass, which will include a full recap of the Fall Conference.
