GlassBuild America 2027

A North American glass, window, and door industry trade show, providing access to innovative products, training, and networking opportunities.

GlassBuild America 2027 in Orlando

GlassBuild America: The Glass, Window & Door Expo runs October 26–28, 2027, Tuesday to Thursday, in the South/North Halls of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. Exhibit space for 2027 is already being booked.

What it is

The show is run by the National Glass Association and covers commercial and residential glass and residential windows and doors. The organiser lists contractors, fabricators, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, installers, engineers and architects among its audience. Reasons it gives for attending include meeting suppliers and seeing new technology, economic and construction forecasts, and education on glazing, fabrication and fenestration.

Programme features

The 2026 show in Las Vegas carried these programme strands, which give a sense of what to expect; the 2027 line-up has not been published yet.

• GlassBuild Main Stage with sessions over all three days.
• Glass Design Exchange, offering learning units (LUs) for architects.
• GlassBuild Skills Challenge, hands-on contests for glaziers and installers.
