Are you ready for Pittcon 2008?  In a few months, over twenty thousand people will come together in New Orleans to educate and to be educated.  Last year eight (8) free Conferee Networking Sessions were introduced to aid conferees in their quest for information and scientific discussion with other interesting and intellectually stimulating people.  This year there will be twenty-seven (27) Conferee Networking Sessions.  Enhance your Pittcon experience by discussing some ideas, problems or technological issues BEFORE your Conferee Networking Sessions at Pittcon 2008.  Generate some topics of interest and establish some peer contacts via the four Pittcon blogs.  Just click the appropriate session and add a comment under a certain topic or add a new topic for discussion.  More Pittcon Community Blogs/Discussion Forums will be added after Pittcon 2008.
