GlassBuild America 2026 Overview
GlassBuild America 2026 took place from September 23 to September 25, 2026. The event was held at the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Produced by the National Glass Association (NGA), GlassBuild America serves as North America's largest annual gathering for commercial and residential glass, window, and door professionals.

The event featured several keynote speakers. Daymond John, a Shark Tank star and FUBU founder, discussed goal setting, business homework, and understanding unique value propositions.
Connor Lokar, a senior forecaster from ITR Economics, provided an economic outlook. He noted that broader headwinds and a GDP growth slowdown are expected in 2027. The Women in Glass + Fenestration keynote, led by Barbara Bouza of CannonDesign, addressed professional visibility, lifelong curiosity, and overcoming barriers to leadership.
