The NGA Glass Fabricator Conference (GFAB™), is a brand-new three-day event April 26-29, 2026, at the Radisson Blu Hotel in downtown Chicago, IL, that is expected to draw between 150 to 200 glass fabricator decision makers, technical leaders, and production personnel.
The inaugural conference will combine the strengths of the winter NGA Glass Conference™ and Glass Processing Automation Days (GPAD)™, enhanced with a workshop specifically for glass fabrication plant personnel, to accelerate the growth of education and training content for NGA's glass fabricator members.
GFAB will feature four elements to address the key needs of different fabrication personnel:
- Executive Track: content for CEOs and Vice Presidents
- Technical Track: material and discussion consistent with the NGA Glass Conference including committee and task group meetings, plus advocacy initiatives
- Workshop Track: hands-on learning at nearby Skyline Design for production personnel
- Plus, networking and learning opportunities with fabrication machinery and software partners.
The NGA Glass Fabricator Conference will also complement the newly released MyGlassFAB™ online education and training platform with in-person discussion and networking.
Registration will open in early 2026.
