The Glazing Summit 2026 will bring together more than 300 business leaders and professionals from the UK glass and glazing sector on 8 October 2026 at the Coventry Building Society Arena in Coventry, UK.
Organised by the Mark Allen Group, the one-day event will address some of the key issues shaping the future of the glazing industry, combining technical discussions, market analysis, panel debates and networking.
The programme will examine the future of glazing, including market trends, regulation, energy efficiency and changing requirements across the construction sector. Other sessions will focus on product compliance and whole-system responsibility, as well as the impact of automation, artificial intelligence and digitalisation on manufacturing and workforce development.
Supply-chain pressures will also be discussed, with industry leaders examining material costs, global uncertainty, regulation and competition from lower-cost imports. A dedicated session on lead generation will explore how digital marketing, data and AI are changing customer acquisition within the glazing sector. 
Speakers and participants include representatives from organisations and companies such as the Bank of England, Barbour ABI, GGF, FENSA, REHAU, Reynaers Aluminium, Deceuninck, Ultraframe, Bellway Homes and FOREL.
