Registration for the 2019 Joint American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA) Summer Conferences, to be held June 17-20, 2019, in Victoria, British Columbia, is now open. Officials say an early bird rate is guaranteed through May 17. Because this is a combined AAMA and IGMA conference, only one registration fee per attendee is required. All registrations will be processed through AAMA.

The Keynote speaker is Dr. Patrick Moore, an ecologist and environmentalist, who will cover environmental factors impacting the fenestration industry. Moore began his career as an activist in the Greenpeace movement and now concentrates on collaborative efforts aimed at finding environmental solutions.

Mike Burk, North America technical representative for Sparklike and chair of the IGMA Glass Safety Awareness Council will discuss incidents and near misses, safety equipment, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and other regulatory agency updates and more. Aiñe Curran, president and CEO of the Vinyl Institute of Canada, will discuss information on the political climate in the country regarding plastics, as well as other potential impacts to the industry. Oak Moser, a senior management professional with experience in leading and coaching teams, will host a leadership development program.
