Glasstec

About the event

Government lockdowns and travel bans have led to the cancellation of glasstec 2021. The next live event is going to take place in September 2022 (September 20^th – September 23^rd). Organisers are working on a hybrid approach to allow remote participation in conferences and special shows. Messe Dusseldorf will follow strict COVID-19 protective measures. 

Calling Card

The international trade fair is based in Düsseldorf, Germany and operates out of Messe Düsseldorf. Editions are held on a biennial schedule and tend to fall sometime around October. In terms of programming, there are four packed days of meetings and additional events. Glasstec sees all the major industry players gather under one roof, which makes it an essential trade fair for you. It’s a natural meeting point between supply and demand and opens doors to new markets all over Europe and beyond. At the same time, Glasstec has an exceptional support program, where top experts share their experience and discuss market trends in their early stages.

Did You Know? 

Glasstec has always impressed with how its structures its editions. There’s always a lot to do and to experience innovations in fun ways. The trade fair changes the format from one edition to the next, but some things never change such as Glass Technology Live, Crafts Center and Glass Art. If you’re a start-up, you’re in a great position to garner much needed attention at the Startup Zone. As Glasstec moves forward it’s also changing its informational program. The conference is going to be reworked and rebranded as ‘think tank’ and feature lecturers by the biggest name in the glass industry. The focus? As much theory as practical application.
