Customers from across the U.S. and Canada came together in Denver, Colorado, May 4–7, 2025, for A+W’s biennial User Conference—Converge ’25. Over three informative days, fabricators, partners, and equipment suppliers gathered alongside A+W software experts and other industry leaders to network, learn, share ideas, and explore technologies shaping the future of glass, window, and door fabrication. This year’s theme, Building Tomorrow, was brought to life through engaging presentations, collaborative breakout sessions, one-on-one detailed customer sessions, and real-world success stories from A+W customers and partners.
From keynote speakers to hands-on product demos, the agenda highlighted the power of innovation to solve everyday shopfloor challenges. Ryan MacDonald of PFG Glass shared how A+W Smart Delivery has elevated their customer experience through mobile confirmations, live rejection tracking, and faster invoicing. Attendees also got a front-row seat to new software solutions in artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and advanced RTO technology. A+W officially introduced its latest innovations for customers in attendance. A significant product announcement coming at GlassBuild 2025 in Orlando, Florida. Be on the lookout!
Machinery experts from HEGLA and Forel as well as scanning experts from Viprotron joined us to share advancements in QR-etched bird glass, vacuum-assisted handling, IGU manufacturing, thin triple processing, precision cutting and sorting, and defect scanning technology. A+W’s Smart Companion, Smart Factory, and iQuote tools were demoed live, showing how digital connectivity and real-time data are revolutionizing how our customers manage production, stock, and quoting.
Whether diving into SSRS reporting, learning about new project management features, or touring our virtual Glass Lab, attendees saw firsthand how A+W is using smart software to turn complexity into opportunity. And of course, it wasn’t all tech and tools—networking receptions, team dinners, and hallway chats offered plenty of time to catch up, connect, and ask questions of A+W’s experts.
