Top Glass is a Canadian glass brand. It is owned by Annex Business Media, Canada's largest independent trade publisher, and is hosted by this magazine, which has served the Canadian architectural glass industry exclusively (we have close to zero American circulation) for 45 years. Top Glass has taken place in Toronto since its inception in 2014 and is overwhelmingly attended by Canadian glazing contractors, glass fabricators, architects and specifiers. This B2B channel, and this show, lives or dies with Canada's glass market.

Of course, anyone in the world is welcome to attend, and we have deep love for our international vendors and sponsors. By supporting Top Glass, they demonstrate their commitment to the Canadian glass industry and their desire to promote their Canadian distribution and representation here. It's a great metaphor for our Canadian openness that makes us a mosaic of companies and cultures that benefits all.

You can see our Canadian identity in our list of non-profit partners. There's Fenestration Canada, our national association. The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance is a North American group that has held every other big conference in Canada since its inception. Ontario's glass industry associations figure prominently, as do the mighty IUPAT glaziers. And we receive great support promoting the show from the Ontario Architects Association and the Construction Specification Council.

If we played hockey against any other show in the world, we'd kick its ass, that's for sure.

Get fired up and come on out to Mississauga, April 29 and 30.
