The Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) is excited to announce it is an official event partner for Materials 2017, a brand new conference and exhibition focused entirely on cutting edge material solutions for architecture, construction and design.

A wide range of products will be featured at Materials 2017, to be held at London’s ILEC Centre on April 25-26 – from ceramics, cement, stone, brick, and timber to glass, concrete, metal, and smart materials, with the focus not only on their use in creating striking designs but also their potential functionalities beyond their common purposes within building structures, envelope, façades and finishes.

The GGF will be exhibiting at the show at Stand 10, as well as contributing to a conference programme featuring speakers from a number of the industry’s biggest actors, including Aecom, Arup, Tata Steel, and Saint-Gobain.

GGF Senior Technical Officer Russell Day will moderate a specialist technical seminar focused on glass at 3pm on the 25th of April.

Materials 2017 is being launched from a collaboration between netMAGmedia Ltd and Schindler, combining over 40 years of knowledge and experience within the construction sector.
