PolyOrgs 2026 Summer Technical Symposium — Registration Open: Denver, July 8–10
Registration is now open for the PolyOrgs 2026 Summer Technical Symposium in Denver, Colorado. July 8–10 at the Hyatt Regency Denver Tech Center. This is the biggest event in the PolyOrgs calendar — three days of technical sessions, hands-on demonstrations, certification testing, and peer networking for polyurea and protective coatings professionals at every level.
Why Attend
The symposium is where the entire PolyOrgs network converges. Unlike individual chapter meetings — which serve a regional audience with a focused topic — the symposium brings together applicators, materials specialists, equipment manufacturers, and industry researchers from across the country and internationally. The conversations in hallways and at the networking dinner are often as valuable as the session content.
For certification-track attendees, the symposium offers the highest single-event CEU accumulation available anywhere in the program: up to 16.0 CEUs across three days, which satisfies an entire year of Level 1 maintenance requirements or completes a significant portion of Level 2 and 3 maintenance.
