The glass and fenestration industry’s foremost annual trade show, GlassBuild America, moves online in September 2020 for a month of industry engagement, innovation and education. Even though an in-person show is not possible, the industry will have an opportunity to come together for product and exhibitor information, purchasing, essential learning, solutions-oriented content and more on the GlassBuild Connect website throughout the month of September.
The 2020 event, re-imagined for the current reality, is hosted by the National Glass Association on GlassBuild.com and its range of email and social platforms. GlassBuild Connect will feature insightful programming from industry experts and partners every weekday from Sept. 1-30.
“GlassBuild America has been connecting buyers and sellers for decades, and we’re not letting COVID-19 break that connection,” says Nicole Harris, NGA president and CEO. “As the trade show moves online in 2020, the leading glass and fenestration industry suppliers from around the world showcase their innovations and solutions in the midst of rich education and trends programming from NGA’s content experts.”
Highlighted by day-of-the-week themes, GlassBuild Connect will focus on specific industry segments regularly throughout the month of September. Daily themes are Manufacturing Mondays, Outlook Tuesdays, Performance Wednesdays, Installation Thursdays and Fenestration Fridays.
Monday through Thursday will host insights inherently relevant to residential fenestration manufacturers, including town hall discussions, forecasts, equipment and other product showcases, code and standards presentations, and more. Fenestration Fridays will curate these experiences and deliver even more content and learning opportunities exclusive to the residential window and door industry.
In addition to viewing more than 300 exhibitors and their products, special content throughout the entire month will include:
- Trendhunter coverage highlighting industry innovations
- Daily demos and videos
- Technical and code presentations
- Webinar and town halls with must know now content
- Much more
The NGA offers free registration and access to GlassBuild Connect, which will unlock the marketplace and programming throughout the entire month, for all industry visitors. Visit GlassBuild.com for updates. Registration is expected to open early August.
