The dates for the 2009 Glass Craft & Bead Expo were Wednesday April 1 – 5, 2009 at the South Point Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, NV.

The Glass Craft & Bead Expo presented the first ever International Hot Glass Invitational!! Skilled Glass artists from around the world came to show off their talents at this judged event. The International Hot Glass Invitational was held in conjunction with the 15th annual Glass Craft & Bead Expo in the Equestrian Center located next to the exhibition hall. This 30,000 square foot, 4,400 seat arena was well appointed with (4) 72' flat screen monitors that face all sides of the arena along with a private "VIP" bar which has seating for 250 with full bar and kitchen access. The goal was to provide the audience with the largest most dramatic glass sculptures and vessels that the timed sessions will allow. We had invited some of the most renowned hot glass flamework and furnace work artists from around the world to compete.
