Omaha Marriott Downtown - October 8-10, 2024

The AGAs annual technical conference, TechForum, offers technical presentations and discussion topics common to the galvanizing process, and is an excellent opportunity for peers to meet and exchange ideas on both a business and social level. Don't miss this three-day event featuring industry speakers, opportunities for peer discussion, networking events, MarketPlace exhibits, and two galvanizing plant tours.

TechForum features a conference program of papers based on a focused topic or "theme" within the hot-dip galvanizing process. The TechForum "theme" rotates every five years. Presentations will include technological advancements, studies, lessons Learned, EHS, quality, optimization, and plant management topics within the year's theme. The theme for 2024 will be Pre-Treatment.

Included in the technical sessions throughout the week will be a virtual tour of Sabre Industries featuring state-of-the-art galvanizing facility located in Sioux City, IA. Plus, discussion groups on Pre-Treatment where AGA members can learn from their peers and exchange ideas.

TechForum also includes two in-person galvanizing plant tours (Valmont Valley and Valmont West Point), an architect led tour of the beautiful Lauritzen Botanic Gardens highlighting the use of HDG steel, MarketPlace reception and a networking event at Let It Fly Omaha Sports bar.

We are also introducing a TechForum Event App for mobile devices that will include agenda, attendees, speakers, exhibitors, activity feed, and much more. We have home screen display ads ($500) available now (example below). Please email Jeff Cunningham if interested.

Registration will open on July 18th. We hope to see you in Omaha!
