2022 Virtual Great Lakes PFAS Summit
December 5-7, 2022

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE) is excited to announce that registration is now open for the *third annual "virtual "Great Lakes PFAS Summit [ [link removed] ]* on December 5-7, 2022. 

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.  

Participants will include local, state, and federal government officials; environmental consultants and vendors; academic researchers and students; industry managing PFAS contamination; and community organizations. The Summit 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 exhibitors, and contact speakers [ [link removed] ]. Last year, the Summit drew nearly 1,600 attendees from over 38 states and 8 different countries!
