A&WMA Event – The Science of PFAS – September 22 – 24, 2026 in Durham, NC
Each year, we learn more about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) through research, testing, and collaboration from all sectors working together to find answers and develop solutions. A&WMA is pleased to continue this premier conference to build on past experience, share new information, and bring together scientists, researchers, academics, practitioners, regulators, and the regulated community to further the conversation on the current state of PFAS science and solutions for the future.
With a focus on data-driven insights and cross-disciplinary collaboration, the Science of PFAS Conference provides a platform to accelerate scientific understanding, inform regulatory and policy frameworks, and support the development of reliable, scalable solutions to PFAS contamination. The conference will feature a high level opening keynote, focused sessions with evidence-based presentations, vendor displays, and plenty of networking time to connect with speakers, sponsors, and attendees.
