CPSA is dedicated to promoting the analytical sciences in an interactive and educational environment. This annual meeting began in 1998 and was the first industry-led event to complement academic-based meetings and address the specific needs of industry researchers. The program highlights current industry trends and relevant topics. Broad-based support has allowed the meeting to evolve into a premier industry-led event that is dedicated to promoting awareness of issues and needs associated with research and development. CPSA events attract sponsors, thought leaders, and participants who are dedicated to the spirit of cooperation to achieve common goals.
