Pittcon 2007, February 25 to March 2, Chicago, builds on past successes while offering exciting new opportunities for conferees and exhibitors in all aspects of this year's conference and exposition
This year's technical programme, which includes more than 2000 technical presentations, continues to focus on core analytical areas of chemistry and on analytical techniques driving advances in the life science arena.
Charles Lieber kicks off the 2007 technical programme with a Plenary Lecture, 'Nanowire nanoelectronic devices for detection of and interfacing to biological systems'.
The ACS Division of Analytical Chemistry (DAC) is hosting four invited symposia, four contributed sessions, and an undergraduate poster - a new addition to Pittcon's dynamic and diverse technical programme.
Another notable highlight is the new networking sessions for conferees which provide an additional opportunity for conferees with similar interests to meet in an informal venue to discuss new techniques, resolve problems, or brainstorm new ideas.
The short course programme, with more than 100 courses in nearly 60 topics from which to choose, complements the educational aspect of the conference.
In addition to an expanded offering, the Pittcon registration is waived for those conferees who take three or more short courses.
The Pittcon organising committees continue the long standing tradition of introducing changes every year to enhance the conferee and exhibitor experience, and the exposition is no exception.
This year, the poster session is in the center of the floor for increased visibility, exhibitors are permitted to use overhead lighting in booths, and the registration area is located on the expo floor to allow for easier access to the exhibits.
