Pittcon 2026: Shapings Science, driving discovery
Pittcon returns on 7–11 March 2026, bringing the global scientifi c community together at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, Texas, USA. The Conference runs from 7–11 March, followed by the Exposition from 9–11 March, offering a dynamic mix of in-person collaboration, technical learning, and hands-on discovery. As a premier event for analytical research, scientifi c instrumentation, and laboratory technology, Pittcon showcases the latest advances helping scientists tackle today’s most complex research challenges.
The conference attracts the people shaping the future of laboratory science. With over 70% of attendees serving as decision makers, Pittcon places participants among industry leaders driving progress across materials science, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemistry, and beyond. Experts from around the world gather each year to exchange ideas, share expertise, and infl uence the direction of the fi eld.
Renowned for hosting the largest technical programme in the laboratory science industry, Pittcon 2026 features 1,245 presenters across 160 sessions. Highlights include leaders in analytical chemistry and applied spectroscopy, with presentations from two Nobel Prize winners. The conference provides a forum for professional growth while keeping scientists at the forefront of innovation.
Professor Frances Arnold, Linus Pauling Professor of Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, and Biochemistry, will deliver the 2026 Wallace H. Coulter Keynote Lecture. She is the fi rst American woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (2018) and a pioneer of directed enzyme evolution. Her lecture, Innovation by Evolution: Bringing New Chemistry to Life, will explore how directing enzyme evolution enables scientists to solve chemical challenges once thought beyond the reach of biology—or even chemistry—opening new pathways for molecular design.
The keynote will be preceded by a Welcome Reception and the presentation of the Pittcon Heritage Award on Sunday at 5:15 PM, recognising outstanding individuals for entrepreneurship and innovation in the instrumentation and laboratory supply industries.
