Pittcon Conference and Exhibition

The Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy or the Pittcon

• Pittcon is a dynamic, transnational conference and exposition on laboratory science, a venue for presenting the latest advances in analytical research and scientific instrumentation, and a platform for continuing education and science-enhancing opportunity.

• At Pittcon, our goal is to advance scientific endeavor through collaboration, bringing together a world of knowledge to impact, enrich, and inspire the future of science. Pittcon is a catalyst for the exchange of information, a showcase of the latest advances in laboratory science, and a venue for international connectivity.

• Proceeds from each and every Pittcon directly fund science education and outreach. Over 90% of Pittcon’s net profit goes on to fund primary and secondary education, continuing education, scholarships, laboratory improvements, and outreach activities.

• Pittcon also offers networking opportunities, social events, and an environment that fosters knowledge and expands your network of scientific resources.

Whether you’re an attendee or an exhibitor, over 90 cents of every dollar goes on to fund science education, continuing education, lab equipment, and science outreach.

Pittcon Values

Community We are proud of our people. We value the volunteer committee and the staff that make Pittcon a reality year after year; we celebrate the dedication of the educators, scientists, and students we support; and we admire our partners for the knowledge and innovation brought annually to our conference and exposition.

Collaboration & Cooperation We promote the conversations, expand the exchanges, and help further the introductions that inspire scientific solutions to the problems of the modern world.

Innovation & Inspiration We offer a venue for the exchange of ideas and exhibiting of instrumentation, and through this, a confluence of and for the ingenuity that leads to greater scientific achievement.

Knowledge & Education We are an assembly, a shared institution of thought, of learning, of research, of state-of-the-art advances in science, an aggregation from which progress is borne.

Respect & Safety We are an ethical, inclusive, diverse environment of respect and safety in all their forms and applications, for all people.

Commitment & Service Since 1950, we have provided a first-rate venue for showcasing laboratory instrumentation and scientific advances, and we do this by delivering the highest level of ethical service to our customers, partners, and the international laboratory science community.

Adaptation & Variation Like science, we adapt to the ever-changing needs of the international scientific community, offering a variety of practice areas, research, and products via a comprehensive range of technical programming, educational courses and workshops, and professional connectivity opportunities.

Philanthropy What we do, we do for the benefit of others. Proceeds from our annual conference and exposition fund education and outreach activities that encourage science for all.
