PittCon2008 in New Orleans

About one month ago, I have been to PittCon2008 (59th Pittsburg conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy) in New Orleans, USA.

It is one of the most largest expo. and conference in Analytical Science.
The problem was the conference was tooo big and tooo many sessions were going on in paralell.
Therefore, there were not too many audience in my presentation....although, I could talk with some other researcher after the session.
Some sessions are really interesting and there were many very famous people there. That is quite interesting.

However, the most astonishing part was the huge booth of huge number of companies.
The floor was so huge that it is almost impossible to look all the places. Anyway, it was very interesting to see a lot of expensive machines and advertisement of new gadget for experiments.
Also visiting to Louisiana State University was very pleasant. Thanks for all the people who hosted during my staying!
