After a successful opening yesterday, Glass Expo Northeast continued strong today, with seminars and a trade show. The event is taking place at the Hyatt Regency Long Island Wind Watch Hotel & Golf Club on Long Island (Hauppauge), N.Y.

As part of the architectural seminar track, Nestor Torres, national architectural manager for PPG Performance Glazings, gave a presentation titled "Low-E Coatings' Roles in Energy-Efficient Glazing." Torres talked to attendees about how the use of low-E coatings can provide added value for customers, making them happy with the final product. Architects attending the session also were able to earn one AIA CEU learning unit.

As part of the general business seminar track, Lance Wallach, an American Institute of CPAs course developer and the National Society of Accountants Speaker of the Year, presented "IRS Secrets You Should Know."

Wallach talked to attendees about how smart tax planning strategies can help reduce chances of an IRS audit and red flags, as well as ways to pay less in income taxes. He also talked about ways to reduce insurance costs and provided various tips and techniques for businesses that will help make tax time less "taxing."
