GlassBuild America Listed As 117th Largest Trade Show In the U.S.

The National Glass Association (NGA) is pleased to announce that GlassBuild America: The Glass, Window & Door Expo has been ranked at No. 117 on Trade Show News Network (TSNN)’s Top 250 Trade Shows list in the United States for 2018.

The TSNN list represents the top 250 trade shows held last year in the U.S., ranked by net square footage. In 2018, GlassBuild America had a net square footage of 156,800 and 395 exhibitors.

GlassBuild America 2019, which is being held Sept. 17-19 in Atlanta, Georgia, is widely expected to exceed 2018 with an estimated 180,000 square feet of educational, networking, and exhibit floor space; 10,000 attendees; and over 450 exhibiting companies from across the world.

“This recognition makes quite a statement. We’ve always been perceived as the largest annual event in our own industry, this acknowledgement significantly broadens the context and scale of what this event is, putting GlassBuild America squarely among the most recognized trade shows spanning all industries across the nation,” said Andrew Haring, Vice President of Business Development at NGA. "To date, booth sales and attendance projections are charting all sorts of new territories for GlassBuild 2019. This year will be different, bigger, and better on many different levels. September can’t come soon enough!”

In its 17th year, GlassBuild America is the largest annual gathering place for the entire glass, window and door industries in the Americas. Presented by the National Glass Association, now combined with the Glass Association of North America (GANA), along with association sponsors, the Window & Door Dealers Alliance (WDDA), the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) and the Insulating Glass Manufacturers Alliance (IGMA), GlassBuild America is a comprehensive and united event connecting the industry to share common challenges and solutions.
