Conferee Networking Sessions are back for Pittcon 2008

Pittcon 2007 saw the introduction of a new onsite opportunity for conferees—the Conferee Networking Session. Last year’s participating conferees stated that these sessions were a great idea and provided them with some stimulating and educational dialogue with their peers. These free sessions are open to all registered attendees and provide an open forum for people to establish new friendships, alliances and communication in an informal environment. You can meet with other people with similar interests to share your experiences with new technology, to help solve problems or brainstorm some new ideas.

Please note: You must be registered for Pittcon in order to attend a Conferee Networking Session. The sessions are open to all conferees and exhibitors at no additional charge. We suggest that you also register for each Conferee Networking Session you wish to attend in order to assure a space. Space is limited, so register early. If space is still available during Conference Week, you may attend any Conferee Networking Session without pre-registering. Use the button below to pre-register for Conferee Networking Sessions.
