Celebrating Pittcon 2011 success!

Cheers! The Scott Partnership team enjoyed a glass of champagne together to celebrate yet another successful year at Pittcon, the world’s largest exposition for laboratory science.

After a busy first quarter preparing for the show, it was time to say well done and recognise our achievements. The Scott Partnership supported some of the world’s leading analytical instrumentation companies at Pittcon 2011, organising media activity including press conferences, media dinners with company executives and editor meetings on booth.

Attending Pittcon myself for the first time this year, it was great to see full press conference rooms and successful meetings between our clients and key industry journalists. Although not everyone in the TSP team was present in Atlanta, it really was a team effort this year with months of meticulous planning, phone calls and editor liaison.

As we raised our glasses in the office a toast was made to a successful Pittcon 2012…grab your sunglasses, we’re going to Orlando!

We’ll see you there,

Lindsay
