Closing Event & Social Activities

Gathering

Engaging with colleagues and friends, both old and new, is a key feature of the yearly gathering. While the closing event requires the advance purchase of a $50 ticket, which is available through online registration, all other activities are accessible to all conference attendees. Brace yourself to connect with individuals worldwide, united by a shared objective: to exchange knowledge and insights about the latest developments in the field of mass spectrometry.

Group of four people engaged in discussion at the annual conference.

Immediately following the opening plenary lecture, the reception is an opportunity to meet up with colleagues and friends. Heavy hors d'oeuvres (yes, enough to call it dinner), free beer and soft drinks, and cash bar for wine. Scientific posters do not go up until Monday morning - making this the time to visit with exhibitors.
