Leading economist confirmed for GlassBuild America

Attendees at the GlassBuild America Expo in Atlanta will be treated to an array of distinguished speakers and leaders of the global glass industry, including noted economist Jeff Dietrich of EcoTrends.

Dietrich, one of the most popular speakers at previous NGA events, will offer his most up-to-date economic forecast for the nation as a whole, as well as for the North American glass industry specifically. He will incorporate his insights on the window and door retail market.

During his presentation in February at the National Auto Glass Conference in Orlando, Dietrich warned that we are further from the ‘bottom’ of the current economic cycle than we’ve been led to believe. His analysis suggested that the nation will not begin to feel the effects of a broad-based recovery until early-to-mid-2010. 

All eyes will be on Dietrich in Atlanta when he updates his forecast and looks ahead to 2010 and beyond. His projections have proven to be invaluable to glass industry executives as they develop their short- and long-term strategic plans.

Dietrich will likewise address the 4th annual NGA Glazing Executives Forum, held September 30, in conjunction with GlassBuild America.
