Before our slower news season this summer, I'm curious about how AIA's expo will do this week, given the historically poor experience it's been for exhibitors. More on my most recent pod, responses to the (debatable) Best Places to Live, and a new case study from Tubelite.
For the long holiday weekend, I’ve got a supersized episode of the From the Fabricator podcast with some seriously interesting people and angles shared throughout. We kick things off with good friends Tom O’Malley of Clover Architectural and Kevin Mayer of PurOptima. Those two are working together and bringing a great approach to the demountable/interior space. Tons of insight and learning nuggets from them- especially on the growth aspect. Good stuff and watch me cringe when I accidently age Tom up 30+ years. Ouch.
In all climates and conditions, high-performance fenestration and glazing systems give healthcare facilities a clear advantage.

Fun industry week as both the events in Texas and Washington D.C. were massively successful. Texas Glass Conference IV raised the bar again. From having 45 people and 4 sessions in 2017 to 155+ and 8 sessions, this event is on a rocket ship. I am honored to still be on it! Congratulations to the Board and Membership of the TGA for an awesome effort. Some highlights and people sightings…

Big week ahead as the 4th Texas Glass Conference kicks off this week outside of Austin. The Texas Glass Association once again has put together an amazing agenda, and the speaking group/subject matter is top-notch. I can’t wait to be there to participate! I am very curious to get some insight from the attendees on the various product trends, too. Even though that is one area I am talking about, I am looking forward to some feedback on what other people are seeing and experiencing. I’ll have the recap with pertinent details next week here on the blog!
