Technology lines the hall and spreads out beyond the limits of the eyes.
The buzz of sales pitches and technical presentations hums and hovers throughout the immense space. It is the unmistakable poetry of Pittcon, revealed in its 52nd manifestation in this issue of Today's Chemist at Work . Almost 25,000 attendees perused more than 3000 exhibit booths with displays from more than 1000 companies. Products relevant to an array of analytical methods and applications were represented. In addition, almost 2000 papers were presented in posters and special symposia, and about 70 short courses and workshops were offered.
