Registration open for 2026 Great Lakes PFAS Summit and Treatment Technology Symposium
The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is hosting the seventh annual virtual Great Lakes PFAS Summit on December 1-3 and the first ever PFAS Treatment Technology Symposium on December 9-10.
Registration is now open for exhibitors and attendees!
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) continue to present some of the biggest challenges in chemical contamination across the world. States throughout the nation, including the Great Lakes region, are finding PFAS contamination in a growing number of locations where these persistent chemicals pose a threat to human health and the environment.
The Great Lakes PFAS Summit will bring together environmental program managers, policy experts, researchers, and contractors from around the Great Lakes region to share new methods of addressing this contamination and present innovative technical solutions developed to address these forever chemicals. Thousands of participants from all over the globe will include local, state, and federal government officials; environmental consultants and vendors; academic researchers and students; industry managing PFAS contamination; and community organizations.
Summit sessions will focus on:
- Human Impacts
- Ecological Impacts
- Regulation
- Fate and Transport
- PFAS in Consumer Products
While the Great Lakes PFAS Summit has served as a forum to share new research and methods for addressing critical issues involving PFAS, its ability to incorporate treatment technology has become limited even though this field has seen rapid expansion and growth. Therefore, EGLE will host two additional days for a virtual Treatment Technology Symposium on December 9-10, 2026, focused specifically on advancements in PFAS treatment technologies.
All registrants will have access to both events.
The Summit and Symposium will be held virtually through a combination of Zoom and the event app Whova. All registrants will have the ability to network, chat with peers, visit with Summit exhibitors, and contact speakers.
