Get a behind-the-scenes look at the full lifecycle of architectural visual communication products—from raw materials through manufacturing, packaging, and installation. We will be touring Ghent’s Lebanon, Ohio manufacturing facility and learn how commercial whiteboards, glassboards, and mobile collaboration solutions are engineered and produced to support healthier, safer, and more effective education, corporate, and healthcare environments. During the tour, we will explore material selection, performance requirements, graphic application techniques, and sustainability considerations. We will learn the role of packaging in product protection, sustainability, and successful project delivery. We will learn how visual communication products support modern architectural and interior design goals and will see how customization, customer-owned materials (COM), and quality control come together to deliver project-specific solutions.
This program does not include a virtual component.
A box lunch will be provided.
