What is Pittcon?
Pittcon is not just your average conference. It’s an immersive event that ignites passion, fuels careers, and propels scientific endeavors forward. It’s a place where scientists from all walks of life, at any stage of their career, can break free from the confines of the laboratory and connect with like-minded individuals. As soon as you step foot into the building, you can feel the electric energy in the air, whispering, “This is where science happens!”
The renowned Pittcon Expo returned in 2023, showcasing a dazzling array of top-of-the-line instrumentations from various manufacturers. It was a visual kaleidoscope of highly impactful demonstrations. With such a wide range of fields represented, you could find yourself discussing analytical techniques for alcohol testing in one booth and exploring the best ways to microscope tissue samples in another.
Why attend?
Pittcon offers a unique opportunity for face-to-face connections that foster true innovation. It’s a gathering of diverse perspectives and expertise, all in one place. Have a problem you need fresh insights into? Imagine being able to ask fellow researchers in person and even lend a helping hand. Say goodbye to dull and impersonal Zoom calls; Pittcon is the ultimate hub for collaboration.
“It’s an amazing opportunity to meet real people, attend inspiring talks, and explore fascinating posters,” said Xin Dong, a PhD student at the University of Minnesota.
For those who crave knowledge and are eager to shape their future careers, Pittcon is the place to be.
“I love the expo! You get to discover different companies, their innovations, and how they can enhance your lab and research. It’s a chance to find a potential employer and conduct groundbreaking research,” shared Greatness Olaitan, a graduate research student from the University of Virginia.
“Unlike other conferences, Pittcon offers a perfect blend of industry, outreach, and science. It may seem overwhelming at first, but there’s always something for everyone. You can network with industry professionals, gain practical insights, and have the privilege of presenting valuable research. Pittcon is a wonderful, diverse atmosphere where you can truly make the most of your experience,” shared J. Dylan Denson, a graduate student at NC State University.
Where will Pittcon be in 2024?
From February 24-28, 2024, Pittcon will make its debut on the West Coast, in sunny San Diego, California. This destination offers picture-perfect weather, miles of beautiful beaches, and a thriving scientific community with over 100 science institutions.
As an added bonus, Pittcon will be celebrating its 75th year in 2024! From witnessing the Apollo 11 moon landing to the CRISPR-Cas revolution, Pittcon has been there every step of the way. It’s a trusted companion that knows how to throw an incredible celebration while embracing exciting changes. Rest assured, you’ll be in good hands.
