Networking at Pittcon

Build meaningful connections through organized networking sessions, informal meetups, social events, and everyday conversations throughout the conference and expo.

Networking Roundtables + Workshops

Pittcon’s organized Networking Roundtables and Workshops are a way for attendees to meet with other attendees with similar interests to discuss challenges in the work place. These sessions are free to attend and open to all full attendee registrations. Attendees can come and go during a session as they please.

These sessions are meant to engage attendees in communication and brainstorming. Networking Roundtable rooms are only equipped with flip charts to encourage group participation. Workshops although similar in concept, are equipped with A/V.

Networking Roundtable + Workshop schedules will be available in November.

Networking Roundtables

Join our interactive 90-minute Networking Sessions, designed to foster free-flowing discussions and creative brainstorming among peers. These sessions offer a relaxed and open environment, where participants can exchange ideas, explore new perspectives, and collaborate on emerging challenges—all with just a flip chart to guide the conversation. Whether you’re looking to spark new collaborations, dive deep into shared interests, or simply expand your professional network, these sessions provide a unique space for dynamic dialogue and innovative thinking. Don’t miss this chance to connect with fellow experts and inspire fresh ideas!

Workshops

Join our hands-on 90-minute Workshops, designed for focused, collaborative problem-solving in an interactive environment. Unlike traditional sessions, these workshops encourage participants to roll up their sleeves and engage directly with the material, guided by real-time discussions and practical exercises. With a more structured approach than networking sessions, you’ll work alongside peers to tackle specific challenges, share expertise, and develop actionable insights. Whether you’re refining skills or exploring new methodologies, these workshops offer a unique opportunity to dive deep into the subject matter while connecting with fellow professionals

Informal Networking

Informal networking happens naturally throughout Pittcon—between technical sessions, in the exposition hall, and during demonstrations and workshops. These spontaneous conversations offer valuable opportunities to exchange ideas, discuss research challenges, explore new technologies, and build meaningful connections with scientists, exhibitors, and industry experts from around the world.

NEW: The Pittcon app’s networking feature allows you to connect with link-minded colleagues year-round. Host virtual networking sessions or impromptu on-site meet-ups. Colleagues with similar interests or lab challenges is just a few clicks away.

Informal networking sessions will be announced as they are received.

Social Networking

Social networking at Pittcon brings attendees together through engaging experiences designed to spark connections and create lasting memories. From the energy and discovery of the Expo Floor to the relaxed atmosphere of the Welcome Reception and the Pittsburgh-themed Party featuring The Clarks. Pittcon offers memorable opportunities to unwind, strengthen relationships, and connect with friends, colleagues, and new acquaintances.

Social and Expo Events will be posted in November.
