2010 SIPA Annual Meeting & Conference, April 19 - 22 at the Chicago Hilton Indian Lakes Resort, Chicago, IL

Learn about one of the fastest growing construction technologies at the Structural Insulated Panel Association’s Annual Meeting & Conference. This is a great opportunity to learn, be inspired and network with industry colleagues.

The SIPA Annual Meeting & Conference is the only event that focuses exclusively on SIPs and their role in green building. The conference sessions will cover everything from the importance of a high performance building envelope to tips and techniques for effectively designing SIP homes and commercial buildings.

Although SIPs have been around for over 30 years, they have recently emerged as a cost-efficient solution for green buildings. SIPs offer the ability to increase air tightness, provide continuous high-density insulation, and reduce material use while still saving on framing labor.

At the full-day design symposium, attendees will hear from experienced SIP architects and engineers on how to best incorporate SIPs into the design process. Engineering, shop drawings, and time-saving construction details are some of the key topics on the agenda. In addition to committee meetings and keynote presentations, SIPA is hosting three one-day seminars that are open to the public at a cost of $125 per person: a building and installation course, an architecture and engineering course, and a sales training course. Each seminar will explain how SIPs can improve your bottom line and prepare your company for the future of energy-efficient construction.
