Glass TEXpo Has Rounded Up Some Answers to Your Questions
Q. Why Exhibit at a Regional Show?
A. First, with air travel becoming more problematic, the economic conditions, and people's time at a premium, it is more convenient for attendees to view the latest products and services at a regional show such as Glass TEXpo. Glass TEXpo attracts attendees with purchasing power – 88 percent owners and managers, 10 percent installers/technicians and 2 percent other. Secondly, with the cost of an “in-person sales call” rising, Glass TEXpo allows your sales staff to meet with current customers and potential ones at very little cost. Finally, Glass TEXpo is also one of the largest regional industry events in the country and typically attracts between 600 to 1200 attendees, depending on its location.

Q. What Does The Exhibit Fee Include?
A. Per Company:

  • Contracted booth space;
  • Eight-foot backdrop and three-foot draped side rails;
  • One free listing in the official show program;
  • Free exhibitor customer passes to Glass TEXpo (show only); and
  • One booth package including: one (1) draped table, two (2) chairs, one (1) wastebasket and one (1) company identification sign.

Hall is carpeted.

Q. Who Attends Glass TEXpo?
A. Our attendees have provided us with some very significant statistics concerning Glass TEXpo: 94 percent stated that this was the only glass industry event they would attend this year. From that 94 percent, 92 percent of the attendees stated that Glass TEXpo is the only trade show of any kind they will attend all year. Attendees are owners, managers and key employees of auto and architectural glass companies.
