Call for Proposals
Submit Your 2024 Proposal
We are now accepting proposals for Invited Symposia and Organized Contributed sessions.

A few things the Pittcon Program Committee are looking for as we review submissions include:

Research and innovations that are timely and relevant to the west coast scientific community

A diversity of voices on the speaker list (industry, government, academia, entrepreneurs, experienced scientists, rising scientists, gender and racial and ethnic diversity, etc.)

Emphasis on fundamental and/or applied research and not a sales pitch.

The session descriptions that more strongly make the case in these three areas will have the best chance for a high-profile spot in the technical program.

Session Types

Symposium
Highly competitive with limited openings in the technical program. Symposia speakers will receive the highest level of recognition and reimbursement available for non-awardee Pittcon invited speakers. These sessions consist of 4 invited speakers as chosen by an organizer.

Organized Contributed
Second tier of the technical program. Still very competitive with up to 7 speakers as chosen by the organizer. Speakers are asked to limit their talks to 20 minutes unless otherwise decided by the Program Committee.
