The nearly exposition floor will include 2440 booths, 45 seminar rooms, 13 new product forums, two complimentary mixers, and three specialised areas - New Exhibitor, Life Sciences, and Laboratory Informatics.
This year, Pittcon will be welcoming 144 new exhibitors.
When asked to comment about the goals for Pittcon 2008, exposition chairman Janeth Pifer replied: "We believe Pittcon is a unique opportunity for conferees, as well as exhibitors, and we continually strive to add value to make Pittcon a truly worthwhile and productive experience for all.
"This year, we have implemented several enhancements to the floor in response to attendee and exhibitor feedback including increasing the complimentary mixer locations, restructuring the poster area, and adding a 10,000 square foot rest area, Jackson Square, fashioned after the famous New Orleans landmark - just to name a few."
