The Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance hosted a roundtable discussion called “Embracing Innovation in the Windows Industry” during the 2024 FGIA Annual Conference, with topics ranging from how to create an innovative-thinking environment to ways to address artificial intelligence in the workplace. This is the third such roundtable FGIA has held in an effort to further advance technologies and processes in the industry.

He conducted a digital poll of those in the room. The result showed that 36 percent of session participants said they see early use of AI in their workforces. Panelists shared their thoughts on what is to come down the road.
