The GGPF is a non-profit educational and scientific organization dedicated to the study of polymeric materials and devices. We sponsor monthly dinner lectures and occasional short courses and symposia with events based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our participants are individuals working in both industry and academia from a variety of disciplines. All interested in the study of polymers are welcome to attend. Please visit our event archives or view future scheduled events.

A Brief History of the GGPF
The Golden Gate Polymer Forum traces its roots to a symposium held in June 1980, at which attendees enthusiastically endorsed the formation of a local group with a primary focus on polymer characterization. GGPF has evolved over the years and now addresses a broad scope of polymer science and engineering topics.
