CHLOREP vs 2026 TechForum

Launched in 1972, CHLOREP (the Chlorine Emergency Plan) is The Chlorine Institute’s mutual aid program that provides a rapid and effective response to chlorine emergencies in the U.S. and Canada by ensuring that transportation service providers, end-users, first responders, hazmat teams and others have quick access to accurate information and industry expertise. Supported by chlorine producers, packagers and specially trained emergency response contractors, CHLOREP provides emergency responders with expert support via telephone within minutes, and if needed, will rapidly deploy emergency equipment and personnel to the scene of any chlorine emergency in the U.S. or Canada. The CHLOREP network includes more than 80 response teams from 22 Chlorine Institute member companies across the U.S. and Canada, as well as 11 emergency response contractors who meet the Institute’s stringent performance requirements. The CHLOREP app was created to provide CHLOREP Teams with a more user-friendly and readily accessible version of the CHLOREP Handbook, CHLOREP Team contact information and other information relevant to the CHLOREP network and response to chlorine emergencies. Access to the app is granted to a limited group of individuals (primarily CI members, rail partners, and federal agencies).

The AGA's 50th annual technical conference, TechForum, will be held at the Grand Hyatt Denver in Denver, CO October 6th-8th, 2026. The conference includes technical presentations, galvanizing plant tours, and a special Golden Casino Night to celebrate the 50th Anniversary. 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. The TechForum "theme" rotates every five years according to the schedule below. 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.
