Two vinyl conferences co-locate in D.C.

The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) and the Vinyl Sustainability Council are co-locating conferences, to be held Dec. 5-7 at the Intercontinental on the Wharf in Washington, D.C. 

PLASTICS’ Vinyl Compounders Conference, now in its 32nd year, and the Vinyl Sustainability Council’s Vinyl Sustainability Summit will run consecutively, allowing industry professionals to attend both at a discounted rate.  

“The colocation, and our partnership with our industry colleagues at the Vinyl Sustainability Council, creates an opportunity for attendees to expand their value and get more insight and more information to take back and apply to their companies,” said Leslie Jutte, director of PLASTIC’s Material Suppliers Council and staff lead of the Flexible Vinyl Products Division. “It’s a win-win for all.” 

"We are very excited for the opportunity to partner with PLASTICS on this important program offering”, said Jay Thomas, executive director of the Vinyl Sustainability Council. “The Vinyl Compounders Conference is well-established and a valued source of information and education for the vinyl industry. Adding the focused sustainability content of the Vinyl Sustainability Summit to the meeting will provide added value for attendees and make this the must-attend vinyl conference for 2022.” 

PLASTICS and the Vinyl Sustainability Council plan to launch a combined event website in July with details on content and registration for individual or both events.
