The glass trends sessions bundle industry know-how from theory and practice and are set in the context of the three global trend themes. Every day, visitors to glasstec 2024 can find out about the latest developments and trends in the sessions on glass production, glass processing and finishing, and glass products and applications.
Topics & Programme
The focus will be primarily on the hot topics of glasstec 2026: AI & digital technologies, decarbonisation and the circular economy. Decarbonisation and the conservation of resources are among the most important issues of our time, which also affect the energy-intensive glass industry. What adjustments must the glass industry make in order to leverage significant potential for the future?
The programme for the glass trends sessions will be available in our event database from August 2026 and will be updated on an ongoing basis.
