Industry Pavilion & GlassBuild Main Stage

NGA and the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance (FGIA) are once again hosting attendees in the Industry Pavilion, and also in a second location on the show floor, the GlassBuild Main Stage. The Industry Pavilion is “The Hub” for members of both organizations and for anyone wishing to know what the industry’s leading trade associations provide. 

The GlassBuild Main Stage will feature education, networking, award presentations and various demonstrations. See the full GlassBuild main stage schedule.
