Welcome to Pittcon 2010

Good morning, and welcome to this, the opening day of LCGC’s coverage from Pittcon 2010 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. The staff of LCGC is proud to bring readers three days of coverage from this, the premier event in the field of analytical chemistry. All of the most important sessions, awards, and events from this year’s conference will be covered here in this convenient and easy-to-read daily e-newsletter. So whether you are a conferee looking for recommendations for sessions or awards to attend, or an industry professional who could not attend the show this year and would like to stay current at home, these e-show dailies will keep you up-to-date on all that is happening at Pittcon 2010.

On this, the first full day of Pittcon, we would invite you to stop by two events sponsored by LCGC and Spectroscopy. At 10 am, the first-ever Pittcon Audio & Video Theater will kick off with a lineup of some of the most well-known names in the industry in attendance. With advances in the field of gas chromatography taking center stage for the morning, there will certainly be a great deal to discuss, from choice of carrier gas to some of the most innovative developments in GC techniques and methods. Later today in the afternoon sessions, HPLC and UHPLC will be spotlighted, with topics as diverse as 2D LC, reversed-phase HPLC, and fast LC on the schedule. Attendance is free and the content promises to deliver more of the practical, nuts and bolts technical information that LCGC is known for.

In addition, at 1 pm today in Room 303ABC, LCGC will hold its third annual awards ceremony, honoring the 2010 Emerging Leader and Lifetime Achievement award winners. Be sure to stop by as LCGC honors two of the industry’s best and brightest practitioners.

We hope to see you at one or both of these events.
