World Vinyl Forum III, cosponsored by The Vinyl Institute and the Global Vinyl Council, convened Oct. 26 – 28, 2007, in Boston, Mass. The conference, held every five years, gave vinyl industry leaders, policymakers and trendsetters from around the world an opportunity to take stock and share their views on what has been accomplished so far and what still needs to be done to achieve the aggressive growth and sustainability goals set 10 years ago at World Vinyl Forum I.
