These lectures are made up of seven speakers each contributing a 20-minute presentation. If your abstract is accepted, you will be grouped with other researchers based upon your selected track, method, and or application , to comprise a session showcasing different approaches and breakthroughs in your research field. Presenting at Pittcon is an impressive addition to your CV/resume, and it provides you with the distinctive chance to connect with fellow innovators and to collaborate with an international audience of scientists.
