“#GlassBuild22 has been ELECTRIC, exceeding our expectations and more!”
GlassBuild America: The Glass, Window & Door Expo returned to Las Vegas last week for the first time since 2018. The largest annual industry trade show in the Western Hemisphere featured 386 exhibiting companies occupying 146,700 net square feet and drew more than 8,200 participants. The WMA Annual Convention & Tradeshow co-located with GlassBuild 2022, bringing 76 exhibiting companies and adding an additional 13,800 net square feet to the exhibit hall.
GlassBuild 2022 drew participants from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, as well as attendees from Canada and 53 other countries.
The trade show floor was brimming with energy and excitement as attendees filled the aisles. Feedback on social media captured the momentum felt last week:
