This November, the iFTI and members of the Glazier Curriculum Committee met at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL to attend GlassBuild America 2025. GlassBuild is hosted by the National Glass Association (NGA) and is the largest annual trade and networking event for the glass, window, and door industries in North America.
The show floor was a powerful representation of where the industry is headed with automation, advanced glass coatings, installation technologies, and cutting-edge architectural applications. Our team spent time exploring new tools, materials, and trends that will help to improve our curriculum and hands-on training. As exhibitors, the IUPAT Glaziers connected with over 200 attendees while also engaging directly with manufacturers, suppliers, and training partners who share our commitment to developing a skilled, well-prepared glazing workforce.
