The AGA's annual technical conference, TechForum, will be held at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas, TX October 7th-9th, 2025. The conference includes technical presentations, galvanizing plant tours, and the MarketPlace exhibit with booth spaces available. TechForum is a great venue to learn new advancements in the galvanizing industry and network with vendors and peers.

TechForum features a conference program of themed papers based on a focused topic or "theme" within the hot-dip galvanizing process. This year's theme is Pre-Process Bay & Material Handling. Submitted papers will address technological advancements, studies, lessons learned, EHS, quality, optimization, and plant management topics within the year's theme. One day of the Techforum will always be set aside for non-theme topics that are relatively timely in nature.
