A successful debut for women in glass at glasstec 2026! 👏

With women in glass, we introduced a new format dedicated to the women shaping our industry. An opportunity to share personal experiences, discuss challenges, celebrate achievements and build connections across the glass sector.

From production and engineering to research and management, women from different fields and career stages came together for open conversations and valuable exchanges. The response showed how much these opportunities to connect and learn from one another are appreciated.

A big thank you to Dr. İlkay Sökmen for her keynote and to our panellists Nancy Mammaro, Christiane Nelles, Daniela Mamet and Andréa S. S. de Camargo for sharing their experiences and perspectives. Thank you also to Gesine Bergmann for moderating the discussion and Emily Whigham for guiding us through the event.

And to everyone who joined us: thank you for making the first women in glass such a success!

Take a look back at some of our favourite moments. 📸
