Glasstec organisers have plugged the gap of the postponed 2020 event with the launch of ‘Glasstec Virtual’ to be run from 20 to 22 October.
Messe Düsseldorf, which runs the conventional event, says the new format consists of the three segments: Exhibition Space, Networking Plaza and Conference Area. Additional tools such as virtual product presentations and new interactive options will make it possible to address target groups in an optimised way and generate potential leads.
The Exhibitor Showroom offers additional new features to attract potential customers’ attention as early as eight months before the actual glasstec, now rescheduled to June 2021 owing to the Covid pandemic. Effective immediately, product videos can be uploaded and web sessions offered. Contact can be made with the participants either interactively via the chat option during the event or after the event directly and conveniently using the Matchmaking Tool.
The new Matchmaking Tool allows direct contact with potentially interested parties by requesting special fields of interest and extensive filter functions. After making an appointment, personal conversations can be held via audio or video calls in a virtual room.
Accompanying the event will be free expert lectures from the glasstec conference with a reference to globally trending themes. Participants will be able to interact with speakers and follow the talks from all over the world.
In addition, the trade journal Glass Worldwide will organise two panel discussions. The sessions will address the current, global market situation in the flat and container glass industries.
