How Can the Modern Analytical Chemist Overcome the Barriers of New Method Introduction?

Come to our PITTCON Conferee Networking Session titled: How Can the Modern Analytical Chemist Overcome the Barriers of New Method Introduction? is the topic of our Sunday afternoon session March 11, 2012 from 1:30pm-3:330pm at the Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, FLA Room 312A.  

Session facilitated by Jennifer Maclachlan  and Jack Driscoll

Session Description:

How can the modern analytical chemist overcome the barriers of new method introduction? If it is not an ASTM method, EPA method or other accepted method, how can the chemist justify to the laboratory the utilization of an unconventional analytical method that promises to achieve better results?

03/11/2012: Sunday Afternoon before the Plenary Lecture: 1:30pm-3:30pm A Conferee Networking Session addressing the question How can the modern analytical chemist overcome the barriers of new method introduction? Click here for session info.

Then head on down the hall for the Plenary Lecture to listen to  

R. Graham Cooks Henry B. Hass Distinguished Professor–Analytical Chemistry
Department of Chemistry
Purdue University
Title: Ambient Ionization and Mini Mass Spectrometers: In situ MS for Everyone Time: 4:30 p.m. Location: Chapin Theater, Orange County Convention Center

Don't leave the Convention Center after the lecture-there's more fun to be had at the best kept secret for those interested in kicked back socializing and major technology discussions. The hors d'oeuvres, beer/wine and mellow music  create the casual ambiance and the Sunday evening poster presenters take it from there. 

Our 3 Sunday evening posters are:

The Role of Analytical Chemists in an Age of High-End Instrumentation & Robotization

Join me, Jennifer Maclachlan and Dr. Jack Driscoll,  at PITTCON in Atlanta, GA at our Conferee Networking Session on Tuesday March 15, 2011 from 4:30pm-6:30pm Room 218 Georgia World Congress Center to discuss my topic: The Role of Analytical Chemists in an Age of High-End Instrumentation and Robotization. 

Facilitators: Jennifer Maclachlan and Jack Driscoll

Description:
This networking session will be discussing how to maintain jobs for chromatographers by encouraging labs/researchers/industry/government to utilize lower end instrumentation that achieve better results.
 

What is a PITTCON Conferee Networking Session? "A Conferee Networking Session at PITTCON is free to all registered attendees and provides an open forum for people to establish new friendships, alliances and communication in an informal environment. These sessions provide an arena for conferees, exhibitors, sales and technical people to come together to discuss topics of mutual interest or solve problems specific to certain instrumentation and anything else of interest.

You can meet other people with similar interests, share your experiences with new technology, or brainstorm new ideas. Various year long networking groups have sprung up as a result of these sessions". Source of Quoted Text
