Vinyl Siding Institute Annual Meeting 2024
2024-04-22 - 2024-04-25 | The Ritz-Carlton New Orleans, 921 Canal St., New Orleans, LA, 70112, United States
The VSI is excited to welcome you to a very special Annual Meeting, April 22-25, 2024, at the Ritz–Carlton in New Orleans, LA. At this meeting, we will evolve our current association and officially launch the Polymeric Exterior Products Association (PEPA)!
In September 2023, the Board of Directors adopted a vision for broadening and strengthening the association to evolve with the industry. After 45 successful years as the Vinyl Siding Institute, we will broaden our mission and membership to include all polymeric exterior building products.

Manufacturers of polymeric exterior building products face several common challenges that we can best tackle together.
A united industry is a stronger industry.
More advocacy wins will protect and open key markets for growth.
More workforce training programs will drive incremental laborers and enable the growth of our products in the industry.
More sustainability helps drive consumer preference for our products and ensures a better world.
More member involvement drives stronger in-market engagement and, therefore, the success of key initiatives.

This will be an important event and one you won’t want to miss. Come and participate in the PEPA launch and celebration! We need you there to engage with prospective members and help ensure our future and joint success.
