For the first time ever, The Australian Window Association (AWA) will join forces with other prominent industry associations to host the Fenestration Australia 2013 exhibition and conference in Canberra from October 3-5.
The Window Film Association of Australia and New Zealand (WFAANZ), Skylight Industry Association (SIA) and Australian Institute of Surface Finishing (AISF) will work with the AWA to create the industry event.
Gary Smith, AWA Marketing Manager said, “Prevailing trends in architecture, design and building sustainability place an unprecedented focus on the fenestration industry."
"It seemed a logical step to invite the window film, skylight and surface finishing sectors to participate in Fenestration Australia 2013, so we could offer the most comprehensive event possible.”
Last year Fenestration Australia attracted 147 different companies represented by over 320 delegates.
“Thanks to involvement from other groups, this year’s conference and expo is set to be our most popular,” said Mr Smith.
“By broadening the scope of the program the conference will become a source of information, training and networking opportunities that previously did not exist for our industry.”
A series of business sessions, presentations, workshops and social functions relevant to all stakeholders will feature within the three day program. The exhibition and AWA Design Awards have both been expanded to include representation from all sectors under the fenestration banner.
