Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 18th edition of Southeast Asia's leading trade fair for Glass and Facade is postponed and will now take place from 26 – 28 October 2022 at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre in Singapore. This decision was reached by MMI Asia after a series of meetings and discussions with the industry, including Glasstech Asia's supporting organisations and stakeholders.

Mr. Michael Wilton, General Manager of MMI Asia commented: "After extensive discussions and feedback from the industry it has become clear that, despite our best efforts to create an in-person event this year in Bangkok, recent trends force us to postpone to 2022. We are looking forward to bringing the industry back together again in Singapore next year. Plans are already underway for what will be a welcome return to face-to-face business in 2022. In the meantime, we are excited to present further enhanced digital offerings to the market. Glasstech and Fenestration Asia are committed to bringing the very best minds together to further enhance, develop and equip the industry for the demands ahead in the coming years. The tools we are providing now will strive to achieve this for the industry"
