Stories from the Pittcon Community

“This is a really vibrant conference. What strikes me about the this meeting is the diversity of disciplines represented. I feel like it’s a big tent, for anybody who has an interest in understanding the basic chemistry of life.”

“It’s the diversity of topics, the center of the field of analytical chemistry, and it really does bring people together, across the entire field. And I think that’s critical. For the past 25 years or so, this has been the conference to bring the field together.”

“I went to many of the technical sessions, it was beautiful to see that, much of the chemistry we’re doing in the lab, that we’re not the only ones, that others are doing the same, and that was exciting.”

“The vendors that come here bring their instruments with them, and it’s running. Every time I come I learn something new, some new cutting edge technology, and usually we make purchases because it helps further our research.”

“I think what makes Pittcon very special, is the exhibition. That it’s so massive here. And that, I always find very inspiring. There’s all this energy and activity.”

“I always love to get out on the floor and see what’s new. I love taking new measurements and having new tools to take these measurements. I tell them about my measurement problems, and often they have a solution for me.”

Who Should Attend?

Pittcon is for anyone who develops, buys, or sells laboratory equipment, performs physical or chemical analyses, develops analysis methods, or manages these scientists.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional seeking future collaborators, a newcomer looking for mentors to guide your journey, or someone in need of innovative solutions, Pittcon is where connections happen!

Fiesta Pittcon | Upping the Ante

Get Ready for an Exhilarating Experience!

We have “raised the stakes” by holding the Pittcon Party in two illustrious settings; The HBGCC Grotto and the LDR.

The Grotto signifies either the beginning or end of the San Antonio Riverwalk. The River Walk, the #1 attraction in Texas, boasts a vibrant nightlife scene, entertaining attractions, and more.

The LDR’s fine Western art and furnishings evoke the maverick history of Texas. Enjoy delicious food, drinks, table and casino games, but most importantly, a night of fun and entertainment.
