Glasstech Asia & Fenestration Asia (GAFA) 2026 is a major regional platform bringing together professionals from the glass, façade, fenestration, architecture and construction industries. The event provides a meeting point for technology suppliers, manufacturers, architects, engineers and decision-makers to explore developments shaping the future of the built environment.
GAFA 2026 has announced its first confirmed speakers, bringing together voices from architecture, façade engineering, sustainability and digital building innovation.
The initial speaker line-up will contribute practical perspectives on some of the most important challenges facing contemporary construction, particularly in rapidly developing tropical cities. Discussions will focus on how buildings can respond more effectively to climate conditions while improving energy performance, material efficiency and occupant comfort.
Key topics expected to feature throughout the programme include sustainable and liveable urban development in tropical regions, façade engineering, building performance and material innovation. The role of glass and advanced building envelopes in climate-responsive architecture will also form an important part of the conversation. 
Digital transformation will be another central theme, with sessions exploring BIM, intelligent design workflows and emerging building systems. Speakers will also examine new opportunities for collaboration between architects, engineers, manufacturers and other stakeholders across the construction value chain.
