We expect a last minute rush like we had in March of people wishing to take part, but the challenge we will have this time is there’s only around 10 rooms left for those wishing to stay the night. There is a nearby hotel which may be able to take some of the last minute bookers, or there is the option to just take part during the daytime.

Either way, to avoid disappointment visit the booking page or email andrew@westyorkshirewindows.com to let him know you wish to attend.

Warning! Do not buy Glasstalk tickets on eBay

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

GLASSTALK-Ticket

We’ve been made aware that a Glasstalk ticket is now for sale on eBay.

To see the eBay listing click here.

At the time of writing the ticket is selling for £275 which is well above the usual £150 + Vat rate for someone wishing to attend (including room, dinner etc).

Warning!

There is no need to buy Glasstalk tickets on eBay at inflated prices. Although, the numbers attending is steadily rising, rumours that the event has fully ’sold out’ are untrue. There have been a few more big names sign up in the last few days, but there are still tickets available for those wishing to attend.

I can only assume someone is trying to make a quick buck here so please do not fall for this.

To get your hands on a ticket all you need to do is visit the booking page on the GlassTalk website. Please pass this information on to your contacts to make sure they do not get duped in this way.

Thank You
Glasstalk Management

8 Reasons to attend GlassTalk

Monday, October 12th, 2009

If you’ve been thinking about attending Glasstalk, but haven’t quite made your mind up yet then I’ve made it easier for you to make a decision.

Here’s 8 reasons you should consider taking the time out to attend this networking event:

1. Make new business connections
The speed dating format of the networking sessions of the first GlassTalk were a resounding success. I was a bit unsure about how people would feel about this as the random way people would be sat next to others could be awkward. But, in reality, it worked very well. I actually made some very good connections, including finding a new dealer who is likely to spend over £250,000 with me this year.

2. Serious debate
We’ve got some very interesting ‘on the couch’ sessions lined up. I was keen that we brought up the emotive subject of the recent glass price increases, so we’ve got Steve Sutherland of Dortech lined up. He was the guy who started the Number 10 petition and has very strong views on this subject. We have invited representatives from the glass companies, and are hopeful that at least one of them will attend and put across their opinion. With Dave Ruzicka of Sash UK and Chris Ball from MBA Associates both taking part, we should get some very forthright opinions. And, we’re very close to securing an industry giant for the final ‘on the couch’ session – details to follow.

3. Look who’s already coming
Decision makers from the following companies are already signed up:
3D Aluminium plas, Ab Initio, Absolute Training Solutions, Anglian Windows, BBA, Brett Martin, Business Micros, Consumer Credit Solutions, Classic Design Conservatories, Clayton Glass, Clear Thinking Software, Clearview Home Improvements, Connaught Conservatories, Conservatory Outlet, Consumer Credit Solutions, CRC Conservatory Roofs, Custom Glass, Deceuninck, Distinction Doors, Edgetech, Empire Tape, Fab & Fix, Fairview Windows, Fenestration News, Franklin joinery, GAP, GED Integrated Solutions, Haffner, Hazlemere Windows, Hegla UK, Holloseal Glass, Hornschuch, IFCon Ltd, Insight Data, John A Wallace Associates, K2, Lister Trade Frames, Macrolux, Masterframe, MBA Associates, McInnes Communications, Midas Code, Mila Hardware, My Quote 4, Network Veka, Oakland Glass, Origin Frames, Orion Windows, Paramount Windows, Promac, Quantal, Quickslide, Quotatis Ltd, Promac, Rapier Star, Rigby Associates, RockDoor, RoofWright, Sash UK, Select Products, SIG, SIG – Window Fitters Mate, Stuga, Synseal Extrusions, Team 4 Marketing, The Appeal Group, The Real Window Quoter, Ultraframe, Vast PR, Veka, Weatherseal Holdings, West Yorkshire Windows, White Extrusion Machinery, Windowbase, Windowmaker.

4. Free beer
I’m ashamed to say that last time, despite the best efforts of 150 people from the double glazing industry were unable to drink all the free beer on offer. Again, we’re looking for around 10 companies to each sponsor the bar at £250 a time, and then we can try harder this time.

5. A day away from the office
I don’t know about you, but sometimes it’s just good to get away from proper work. The thing is, though, by attending GlassTalk there will be some serious business taking place. And, if you’re not there you’ll miss out.

6. Good food
There’ll be a buffet lunch and evening meal served all included within the very reasonable fee. Being a vegetarian I’m not expecting the food to be great, but I’m sure all meat eaters will be very satisfied.

7. Entertainment
The entertainment is yet to be finalised, but I can assure you that it will be absolutely brilliant. I’ve been arguing for as many dancing girls as we can get hold of, but finances may restrict us to a comedian or similar.

8. Compare moustaches
Further to my previous post, it appears that there will be a number of Mo Bros joining me and growing moustaches. Unfortunately, with GlassTalk happening on November 3rd we’re unlikely to be displaying handlebar or horseshoe designs by then.

So, what have you got to lose?

To sign up you need to visit the GlassTalk website and visit the Booking Page. Tickets are from £85 per person (if you just want to attend the day part) or if you fancy being a reveller like me then £150 also gets you a room for the night, evening meal and all that free beer. Or just email my brother at andrew@westyorkshirewindows.com and he’ll put you down on the list and show you how to book.

See you there!
