Spray Foam Magazine – Summer 2026 – Lights, laughter, and a lot of foam! The SPFA’s SprayFoam 2026 Convention & Expo, took over Las Vegas in March at the legendary Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino. Imagine nearly 2,300 foam fans and 106 exhibitors, industry pros, innovators, and curious newcomers gathering under one roof to dive into certification quests, tech adventures, and hands-on training, all geared to power up the ever-expanding spray foam universe.

This year’s event spotlighted the growing need for skilled spray foam installers. Attendees could level up their skills through immersive training and earn official “SPFA Professional Certification Program (PCP)” badges. The numbers are impressive: 87 new certified champions, 95 certifications unlocked, 130 field exams, and 229 written tests, all in a quest to raise the industry bar sky-high.

A convention wouldn’t be complete without a party—and Spray Foam Magazine’s legendary COTY bash delivered. Sponsored by PMC Accufoam/Creative Polymers, Elastochem, NCFI, and Profoam Corp, Sunday night was alive with live music, giveaways, and plenty of food and drinks, making it the place to be.

The evening also featured “the big reveal” of Spray Foam Magazine’s 2025 Contractors of the Year, Kevin Boschee and Curt Janzen, who drove away with a brand-new Profoam-built rig. The contest itself was backed by an impressive lineup of industry leaders, including Spray Foam Magazine, BASF, Binks, Chicago Pneumatic, HM Advisors, Huntsman, ProFoam, Python/Suburban Manufacturing Group, PMC, Quadrant, Solstice, SPFA, SprayWorks Equipment, Tennessee ChillBox, and Titan.

Altogether, the celebration brought the industry together for a night filled with energy, pride, and unforgettable moments.

A brand-new highpoint was SPFA’s “Topgolf Takeover” on Monday, March 23rd. Foam fans swapped hard hats for golf clubs as they teed up for friendly competition, laughs, and networking in style thanks to sponsors BASF and Red River Logistics.

The expo hall buzzed with excitement as leading manufacturers and suppliers rolled out their coolest new gadgets and foam tech. Attendees got hands-on with the latest in high-performance insulation, cutting-edge roofing, and specialty tools. Learning wasn’t just for the classroom, educational sessions covered everything from business wizardry to legal hacks and next-level safety. Let’s not forget the main event: the 4th Annual Spray Competition, where pros battled it out for ultimate bragging rights!

The show closed out with the SPFA’s Industry Excellence Awards along with the introduction of a few inaugural awards. The National Industry Excellence Awards continue to recognize outstanding contractor achievements, honoring top projects completed in 2025 across various categories within the SPF industry.

Some of the inaugural awards included: Above & Beyond Mary Bogdan Legacy Award; the Rick Duncan Technical Award; the Workhorse Award; and the Strickler Standout Award.

The Spray Polyurethane Foam Alliance (SPFA) also created the Doug Commette Industry Promotion Award in memory of industry legend and founder of SprayFoam.com and Spray Foam Magazine, Doug Commette, who unexpectedly passed in December of 2025. “This recognition means so much to our family. Doug was deeply passionate about the SPF industry, and he would be truly proud to see his legacy continue. Thank you for celebrating the impact he made, it will never be forgotten” said his wife, Margo Commette.

Todd Bolton, founder of Synergy Spray Foam, also had the honor of unveiling the Doug Commette Legacy Challenge Coins and presenting them. He said, “Doug was more than someone I respected in the industry; he was a true friend and mentor to me, and a lot of how I think and approach both business and life today comes from him. Being able to honor him like that meant more than I can really put into words.”  

J.T. Meyer was awarded the first coin and $500 from the Commette family. “Being recognized and receiving the first annual Doug Commette Legacy Challenge Coin was a true honor! Thank you to Margo Commette and the Commette family for this incredible honor and thank you to Spray Foam Magazine for helping keep Doug’s legacy alive. I’m grateful, humbled, and motivated to continue working hard and giving back in a way that would make Doug proud. The coin found its home on my dresser,” said Meyer.

This year’s SprayFoam 2026 Convention & Expo was full of education, laughs and some tears, but most of all a big reminder that together, the Spray Foam Industry is unstoppable!
