2026 Great Lakes PFAS Summit

2026-12-01T11:00:00 2026-12-03T16:00:00 2026 Great Lakes PFAS Summit

Save the date to Join the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) for the 7th annual virtual Great Lakes PFAS Summit December 1 – 3, 2026, and the PFAS Treatment Technology Symposium, December 9-10, 2026.

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.

This year's Summit will also feature the PFAS Treatment Technology Symposium on December 9-10, 2026 - While the Great Lakes PFAS Summit has served as a forum to share new research and methods for addressing critical issues involving per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), its ability to incorporate PFAS 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!

Participants will include local, state, and federal government officials; environmental consultants and vendors; academic researchers and students; industry managing PFAS contamination; and community organizations.

Join thousands of participants for sessions on:

  • Human Impact
  • Ecological Impacts
  • Approaches to Regulation
  • Fate and Transport
  • Treatment
  • PFAS in Consumer Products
Accommodations deadline: Individuals needing language assistance or accommodations for effective participation at this event should contact Joel Roseberry at 517-599-9494 by November 17, 2026, to request language, visual, hearing, translation, and/or other assistance.
