HAGA members recently joined thousands of industry professionals at GlassBuild America 2026 in Las Vegas, the largest annual event for the glass, window, and door industry.
GlassBuild continues to be one of the premier opportunities for professionals across the industry to connect, learn, and discover the latest innovations shaping the future of glass and glazing. This year's event brought together manufacturers, fabricators, glaziers, suppliers, and industry leaders from around the world for three days of networking, education, and collaboration.
HAGA members had the opportunity to reconnect with longtime industry friends, meet new faces, and strengthen relationships with colleagues from across the country. The conference also featured impactful keynote presentations covering business growth, economic trends, leadership, innovation, and the future of our industry.
One of the highlights of the event was the opportunity to attend the California Glass Association's Meet & Greet and Women in Glass lunch events. We were grateful for the warm invitation and enjoyed connecting with both familiar faces and new industry professionals from across the nation. It was also inspiring to learn more about the great work being done by the California Glass Association and California Women in Glass to support and strengthen our industry.
Beyond the educational sessions, members explored exhibits showcasing advancements in automation, artificial intelligence, fabrication technology, sustainability, and workforce development. It was encouraging to see the industry's continued investment in innovation, as well as efforts to attract and develop the next generation of glass professionals.
Events like GlassBuild remind us that our industry is built on both relationships and innovation. HAGA is proud to participate in these national conversations and bring valuable insights back to our members.
If you haven't attended GlassBuild America before, we encourage you to add it to your calendar for next year. GlassBuild America 2027 will be held October 26-28 in Orlando, Florida, and promises to be another outstanding opportunity to learn, connect, and grow.
