Much like The Analytical Scientist, “Pittcon’s target audience is not just ‘analytical chemists,’ but all laboratory scientists – anyone who identifies, quantifies, analyzes or tests the chemical or biological properties of compounds or molecules, or who manages these laboratory scientists.” With that mission firmly in mind, Pittcon offers an almost dizzying array of technical programs and short courses covering the entire field of analytical science, in addition to packing in an exhibition and poster session that will test your fitness levels.
How best to navigate it? Certainly the app is very handy – you can start planning for the big show right now using the personalized agenda builder. We hope some of the information presented below will help you decide what might be hot in 2014. If you do find yourself with any free time at the show, don’t forget to stop by The Analytical Scientist at 4151 to say hello to the team and pick up a copy of the latest issue. Pittcon 2014 will be held March 2–6 at McCormick Place, Chicago, USA. www.pittcon.org
