Top Glass hosts glazing contractors, glass fabricators, architects, and façade designers for a one-day conference and vendor expo laser-focused on building with glass.

• Browse the latest technology from Canada’s top glazing suppliers.
• Earn credits and learn at exclusive expert seminars.
• Network and make connections with glass people from across Canada.

The topics and speakers for 2026 include:

• Cross-Country Codes and Standards Update: Amy Roberts from the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance returns to bring us up to speed on the latest changes to architectural glass standards and commercial building codes across the country. Attendees will hear the latest from the committees publishing the AAMA standards referenced in all the codes and pick out significant developments in codes from jurisdictions from St. John’s to Victoria. Roberts will share forecasting and insights from inside the meetings and organizations involved in writing the rules for the years ahead. 
• BUILDING THE DIGITAL ADVANTAGE: Practical pathways for modernizing your glazing business: Achille Ettore will provide a clear, no-nonsense look at how glazing contractors and fabricators can strengthen workflows, reduce friction, and improve margins by applying the right level of digital adoption at the right time. We’ll cover the high-tech and low-tech pathways, common pitfalls, leadership requirements, and the operational wins companies can realize without disrupting operations. The session will be grounded in real examples from the field and tied back to the framework in Ettore’s book, Building the Digital Advantage.
• Enough Rope to Hang It With: Raymond Carle discusses how Excel Projects Building Maintenance takes on the architectural glass repair and replacement work that most companies avoid. Over two decades, founders Michael Gist and Raymond have refined innovative, practical rope-access techniques capable of handling even large-scale glazing and restoration — including replacements exceeding 700 pounds. At Top Glass, Raymond will present real-world case studies comparing access methods, outlining safety protocols and demonstrating hybrid solutions that integrate all access systems, including building maintenance units. Contractors and installers will gain valuable insight into efficient execution, while architects will see how their design decisions play out in the real world. 
• VIG EXPLAINED: Arthur “Art” Huard provides a look at a game-changing technology for highly insulating glazed building envelopes: Art Huard of NVOY will discuss transparent panel technology (otherwise known as vacuum insulating glass) that can be used to make windows that insulate as well as a wall. Not science fiction, not 10 years away, it is now available at volume from North American suppliers, including LuxWall, Inc. Art will explain how and why it works and as much of the incredible manufacturing process as he's allowed to reveal.
