This year, the conference hotel will be the Renaissance Toledo Downtown. Also new: instead of booking your room through the hotel, you’ll reserve directly through the conference registration site. This means you’ll have one stop for all things GPC. To receive the special GPC rate of $189/night, you must reserve through the conference site. The hotel will not accept GPC reservations directly or made through another website.
The Renaissance is AAA Four Diamond-rated hotel is located on the river only a few blocks from the Glass City Center. There will also be expanded space for evening hospitality booths and salons, providing you with more room to mix with friends and to visit hospitality hosts.
Please see the GPC website for the conference schedule, exhibitor information, short course descriptions, and information on the GMIC/GlassTrend Symposium, this year featuring sensor technology.
For questions about the conference, please contact GMIC Membership Manager Donna Banks dbanks@gmic.org. We look forward to seeing you in Toledo!
