We will start with the basics and history of glass then dive into the rules and restrictions that need to be adhered to to meet NSF guidelines for the different types of sneeze guards available today. The class will also review the different types of mounting options and when and where they should be used followed by the various accessories they might consider in their specification. This will cover items such as the different lighting style and types of lights and lighting figures as well as the different types of strip heaters along with when\, where and how to apply them in foodservice applications. We will tour a sneeze guard factory setting that will allow the consultants to see the end-to-end manufacturing process of a sneeze guard from cutting\, drilling and tempering the glass to milling and machining the support materials needed. We will round out our meetings by discussing what the future needs look line for sneeze guards. \nAgenda\n \nDay 1\nMorning-Mid Afternoon:  Guests arrive/Transportation to hotel\n5pm-6pm:   Welcome Reception\n6pm-9pm:   Dinner \nDay 2\n8:00-8:30:  History of Glass\n8:30-9:30:  Sneeze Guards\n8:30-9:00:  Rules and Regulations\n9:00-10:00: Types\, styles\, and applications\n10:00- 10:15: Break\n10:15-11:00: Accessories Lighting type styles and options lighting integration\n11:00-11:30: Resources (KCL\, CAD\, Revit Configurators)\n11:30- 12:00: What’s under the glass/in the counter\n12:00-1:00:  Lunch\n1pm-3pm:  Factory Tour \nTo register\, contact Raoul Cervantes at rcervantes@hatcocorp.com or 802.477.3378
