Can’t miss at GlassBuild America 2024 is the GlassBuild Main Stage, hosting three days of learning, networking and industry celebration, centrally located on the trade show floor in booth 19009. Main Stage sessions are open to all GlassBuild America attendees. Programming is presented by the National Glass Association and sponsored by NGA’s MyGlassClass.com, Glass Magazine and Window + Door magazine. Program highlights:
Industry performance. Main Stage programming will spotlight need-to-know information about wider industry trends, including the construction forecast, code and standard updates, emerging technologies and products, and more.
Focus on people. Companies’ biggest challenge is labor—specifically finding, training, keeping and protecting employees. Main Stage content will provide business owners with take-home strategies to address the ongoing labor issue.
Gathering place. Once again, the Main Stage will be a place for industry to come together to network and connect. Opportunities include the third annual Women in Glass + Fenestration Networking Breakfast, the Glass Magazine Awards reception, and a focus on prioritizing mentally safe workplaces alongside of physical safety.
Content for all. The Main Stage offers programming for companies across the entire supply chain, in all sizes and segments.
Notable keynotes. The Main Stage will host must-attend talks from speakers such as Connor Lokar, senior forecaster for ITR Economics; and Emily Pilloton-Lam, a designer, builder, educator, TED-talk veteran, and driver for recruiting young people to jobs in construction.
New podcast studio. Adjacent to the Main Stage will be the first-ever GlassBuild Podcast Studio, where episodes of the National Glass Association’s Glass Cast and Window Cast podcasts will be recorded throughout the show.
