GLASSTEC 2014
21-24 October 2015, Dusseldorf
At glasstec 2014, to take
place from 21-24 October
in Dusseldorf, the “glass
technology live” show will
once again open up an
extensive look ahead into the
future of glass. Under the
“Intelligent Glass” motto, the
innovation show provides a
comprehensive overview of
current developments and
trends in glass products,
applications and new
development potential.
A diverse support programme
is a highlight of this event and
glasstec 2014 will again feature
the “glass technology live”
special show (gtl) along with the
supporting trade symposium.
Once again in 2014 the gtl
is being organised by Prof.
Stefan Behling and his team
from the Institute of Building
Technology, Construction
and Design (Institut für
Baukonstruktion) at Stuttgart
University. In space of around
2,500 square metres, under the
motto “Intelligent Glass”, it
will be showing trend-setting
glass products and applications.
The main theme areas this year
are: “Innovations in Glass”,
“Intelligent Building Shells”,
“Façade + Energy”, along with
“Glass Design”.
In parallel with the “glass
technology live” special show, in
the supporting trade symposium
speakers from leading research
institutes, associations,

companies and architects’ offices
will be presenting extensive
information on various themes.
As with the special show,
the symposium will also be
focusing on the future of the
glass industry. On each day of
the trade fair the agenda will
be dedicated to a different key
theme. The symposium is open
to all trade fair visitors free of
charge within glasstec.
The support programme is
rounded off by three trade
conferences: on 21 and 22
October at the specialist
conference, the partners of the
fair, TU (University of Applied
Science) Dresden and TU
Darmstadt, will be presenting
the “engineered transparency”
theme in all its facets. On 22
October at the Architects’
Congress under the motto
“Glass 5.0 - Design, Function,
Emotion”, the capability of
the material will be on the
agenda. As organisation partners
of Messe Düsseldorf, the
Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe,
TU Delft and the North-Rhine
Westphalian Chamber of
Architects (Architektenkammer
Nordrhein-Westfalen) will
be actively involved. On 20
and 21 October, the specialist
conference “Solar meets Glass”
will focus on the interface
themes of the glass and solar
industry.
