The Pittsburgh Annual Conference and Exposition on laboratory science— Pittcon—attracts nearly 20,000 attendees in industry, academia, and government from 90 countries worldwide. This year, the conference will be held in Orlando, FL, at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) from March 11 to March 16.
Pittcon is organized by 95 dedicated volunteers who work in or are retired from various scientific disciplines and is sponsored by two technical societies, the Spectroscopy Society of Pittsburgh (SSP) and the Society for Analytical Chemists of Pittsburgh (SACP). The Conference donates nearly a million dollars each year in the form of science equipment grants, research grants, scholarships and internships for students, awards to teachers and professors, and grants to public science centers, libraries, and museums.
The Pittcon Technical Program, an annual highlight of the Conference, offers thousands of technical sessions on topics ranging from the latest techniques and applications in analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy, to emerging scientific disciplines such as nanotechnology, genomics, drug discovery, and bioterrorism. The Technical Program, held March 11–16, consists of symposia, organized contributed sessions, oral sessions, workshops, posters, and Conferee Networking Sessions covering a wide range of topics. An outstanding panel of speakers has been assembled to recognize and review the scientists, developments, applications, commercialization, and current research in electron and ion microscopy. Topics include: Chromatography, Spectroscopy, Electro Chemistry, Mass Spectrometry, Nanotechnology, Biomedicine, Pharmaceutical, Environmental, and Food Science, and more.
