Attend the 50th Annual North American Chemical Residue Workshop formerly Florida Pesticide Residue Workshop
FLAG Works, Inc sponsors the North American Chemical Residue Workshop (NACRW) formerly the Florida Pesticide Residue Workshop (FPRW) which conducts annual meetings for scientists particularly interested in trace level analysis of pesticides, veterinary drug residues, and other chemicals in food, animal feed, and environmental samples. The purpose of the meeting is to provide training, develop and improve technical knowledge, facilitate development and distribution of new analysis methods and techniques, and establish networking to promote professional cooperation between scientists of these interests. While the majority of attendees are from North America, important international speakers are always included in the Technical Program, and attendance of scientists from Asia, Europe, South America, Australia, and Africa is increasing annually.
(FPRW) will be held July 21-24, 2013, in St. Pete Beach, FL, at the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort. FLAG Works, Inc., a non-profit organization, sponsors the meeting, which has entered into an agreement with ACS (via the AGRO Division) to help plan and coordinate the event.
The meeting is expected to have approximately 300 to 350 attendees representing government, academia, and industries. The program is designed for technical scientists and lab managers alike; interactive forums and daily poster and vendor sessions will be held.
Poster sessions will be held each morning in the Exhibits area, and the poster receiving the most votes from the meeting participants will receive a prize. The posters will be displayed from Monday morning, July 22, until Wednesday, July 24, at noon during the meeting. The posters and authors will be asked to stand by their posters for an hour each morning depending on their group. The winner will be announced and prize given at the end of the meeting on Wednesday, July 24. Click here for poster instructions.
Vendor sessions are planned for Sunday Evening (July 21) and during breakfasts and lunches each day during the event. On-site registration will begin at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 21.
There will be exhibitors representing analytical instrument companies, laboratory and analytical standards suppliers, and analytical service laboratories. The Exhibition will take from Monday morning July 22 to Wednesday at noon on July 24.
The meeting organizers have reserved a block of rooms at the Trade Winds Resort. You may book your room following the directions on the meeting website. The deadline for hotel reservations at the group rate is June 19, 2013.
Bench chemists, laboratory managers, quality managers, and anyone else involved in pesticide residue or environmental contaminant residue analyses.
Why should they attend?
- To gain valuable information on the methodologies and analytical tools used in residue level analyses of pesticides, veterinary drugs and environmental contaminants.
- To meet others who are doing the very same things, and to establish valuable contacts with many experts.
- To learn about regulatory issues effecting chemical residue work.
- To visit vendor exhibits and see the latest in instrumentation.
