Featured Vendor Sessions

Meet the vendor partners powering TUDS-X.

Vista Railings + QwickBuild — Stephen Van Kampen & Joe Jacklin

Stephen Van Kampen from Vista and Joe Jacklin from QwickBuild are teaming up to show you what sets their systems apart — from purchase to install to profitability. You'll get the inside track on Vista's aluminum railing, their partnership with TUDS, and a first look at QwickBuild's aluminum deck framing system, now available exclusively through Vista in Canada. Faster installs, zero rot, and a smarter way to frame.

Eva-Last — Mike Forfylow

Mike Forfylow takes you through the story behind Eva-Last's bamboo composite decking and VistaClad cladding — the technology that makes the boards different, why contractors love the stability and tight mitres, and what the Eva-Last contractor program means for your business. Whether you're already using it or just curious, this is the full picture.

Regal Ideas

Regal's patented lock-in picket system cuts railing install time by up to 80% — no screws, no hassle. Get the latest on their product lineup for 2026 and learn how the DeckStar certification program can put you on the map with training, marketing tools, and leads from homeowners looking for certified installers.

In-Lite Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lighting is one of the highest-margin upsells in the industry, and most contractors aren't offering it. In-Lite's 12-volt system is plug-and-play simple — no electrician required — with app-controlled smart zones and light quality that makes outdoor spaces come alive after dark. Learn how their Professional Program gives you the pricing, training, and design support to start adding lighting to every quote.
