SFE Italy
SFE Italy AGM second edition: useful touch point to both inform the SFE italy members on the Association main activities, 2025 and 2026 activity plans, and to gather feedback and hear about initiatives and ideas from the audience
Curved Glass: held at Deerns, it was an excellent technical presentation with international speakers such as Joan Tarrùs of Sedak. We've seen great international interest in the audience with people coming from abroad and have also fast exceeded the number of participants.
Our panel at ZAK Milano was another great success. We aimed to spark a meaningful conversation around façade procurement routes and highlight the value of solutions like PCSAs and Design Assist in driving project success for all stakeholders. We engaged with a diverse group of industry professionals — including developers, main contractors, façade designers, engineers, and architects — to ensure a well-rounded discussion.
