If you've been on the Twittersphere over the last 24 hours you may now be aware that one of the bigger networking events in our industry has now been cancelled. This is the message you will find if you go to the GlassTalk website: It is with regret that the organisers of GlassTalk 2012 are [...]
Last year we saw the demise of the GlassTalk forum site, which was a shame because in my opinion we don't have enough industry related discussion sites or blogs. But, over the last few days, something seems to be brewing with the site. It has a new layout and is promising a bit of a [...]
>When I say Glasstalk, I mean the website, not the networking event.When the site first launched the debate raged on there. There was good banter, reasoned debate. Yes it did get a bit hairy at times, but that was to be expected as there were plenty of competitors on there speaking to each other.But over [...]
>Those who visit websites/forums related to the double glazing industry will have no doubt realised that they have fallen quiet over the past few weeks. Glasstalk is a perfect example. The forum really seemed to be gaining momentum with plenty of people logging on, asking questions, causing debates and the odd heated argument. But then [...]
>There were rumours flying around during the earlier part of this afternoon, but www.the-glazine.com has just confirmed that Glassex and Best are now cancelled.This is a shame for two reasons. The first; I didn't ever get to go! The second is that this was very much a woeful and disappointing end to what was the industry's show-piece [...]
>Over the past 48 hours or so there has been some great and fevered debate about the prices we should be selling our windows and doors at. This is brilliant, as price is one of the main, if not the main debating point for us all.Mike Bygrave on Glasstalk brought up the idea of a [...]
>The long-awaited revamp of the Glasstalk website has finally been unveiled! And it looks good!Major changes include a fully dedicated News section and the introduction of an advertising page. But the first obvious thing is the refreshed layout of the whole site, which is much better and more modern than the previous site. Not there [...]
>Dark nights are here now. I'm feeling a bit tired and fed up. So rather than go into a full on post about one subject, I'd rather write about a few little things...just because I cannot be bothered!SubscriptionI've added a proper subscription section in the top right hand corner of the page. RCG has been [...]
>GlassTalk is an expanding event. And the more popular it gets, the more representative it should become. The events held so far have been more to the south of the country. This is fine. The organisers have picked out some very nice venues to date. However, people from the North of the country have found [...]
>It might just be me, but when I place myself on the outside of this industry and look in, we all seem to be a bunch of people with good intentions but no energy to go forth and carry out the actions we say we want to. And I mean that in the broadest sense [...]
>It will be interesting to see some of the early results that came out of GlassTalk on Tuesday. What will be of the most interest to me is how the SGG interview went, and how they tried to justify monumental price increases throughout the year.Also, it would be interesting to hear what most people thought [...]
>The interest in Glassex and other exhibition shows has dampened over the last few years. There needs to be a fresh approach in regaining that interest and put Glassex back at the top of industry shows to attend.One idea could be to host seminars live on the internet. A big factor in the demise of [...]
