Preparing a thoughtful catalogue of your glass work to display and eye-catching, informative displays will get your glass better noticed by the crowd.
How to Attend as a Buyer or Collector

For the logistics of being an exhibitor, you should coordinate the shipping of your glass pieces with the expo ahead of time as well. Knowing where your booth placement will be and working to effectively and timely set up in accordance with your placement is also some essential planning.
