Submissions that address pressing challenges and emerging trends in this region will be given special consideration.
- Embracing Diversity and Inclusivity in Speaker Representation: We believe in the power of diverse perspectives to drive innovation and foster collaboration. While recognizing the multifaceted nature of diversity—including industry, government, academia, entrepreneurship, as well as varying levels of expertise, and demographic backgrounds—we are committed to curating a speaker list that reflects this richness. We encourage submissions that amplify voices from all corners of the scientific community, ensuring a comprehensive and inclusive dialogue.
- Elevating Research Excellence over Commercial Endeavors: At Pittcon, we value substance over style. We are seeking sessions that prioritize the dissemination of rigorous, cutting-edge research—whether in fundamental principles or practical applications—rather than promotional pitches. Our focus is on fostering intellectual exchange and advancing scientific knowledge, a space for genuine exploration and discovery.

Invited Symposia versus Organized Sessions
Invited Symposia: Elevate your presence in the technical program through our prestigious symposium sessions. With limited openings and fierce competition, a coveted spot as a symposia speaker is a mark of distinction and recognition. Each session features four carefully selected speakers, handpicked by organizers renowned in their field. Speakers are allotted a generous thirty minutes to delve into their research, ensuring a dynamic exchange of insights.
Speaker expenses are covered for accommodations preceding their first talk and following their last, especially beneficial for those speaking across multiple sessions. Travel expenses are reimbursed up to $400 domestically and $800 internationally. Organizers themselves must contribute as speakers to qualify for reimbursement.
Organized Sessions: The heart of our technical program is our organized sessions, while still highly competitive, these sessions offer organizers the chance to cover a single topic in depth, inviting up to seven speakers to present their research.
Presenters are provided 20 minutes to showcase their work, unless otherwise directed by our Program Committee. Complimentary registration is provided exclusively for speakers in this category, ensuring your contribution is valued and recognized within our community.
