About EAS
The Eastern Analytical Symposium and Exposition is held each year to provide professional scientists and students continuing education in the analytical and allied sciences through the presentation of symposia of papers, workshops, and short courses. In addition, an exposition of apparatus and supplies allied to these sciences is held concurrent with the symposia. EAS will be held November 16-19, 2009 at the Garden State Exhibit Center and hotel complex in Somerset, New Jersey. Answers to the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) are now available and General Information (PDF).

Technical Program
The technical program at EAS has continuously demonstrated an excellence in quality. With over 600 invited and contributed papers, you will find presentations on: pharmaceutical analysis, art conservation, analytical chemistry education, food analysis, chemometrics, sample preparation, process analysis, forensic analysis, validation, and regulatory topics. In the technology arena are topics such as: CE, GC, LC, near-IR, mid-IR, Raman spectroscopy, NMR, mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, microscopy, and sensors. The program emphasizes presentations that are on cutting edge science and relate to real problems faced by scientists in all fields.
Short Courses
EAS Short Courses emphasize practical and economical problem solving topics which will include material that you can take home and immediately apply to your daily work. We have kept many of the 'most requested' courses from last year and have added many new ones which we feel will be timely this year and useful beyond. Various topics will be offered at the 2009 EAS. These courses will be taught by a group of distinguished instructors, who are well recognized in their field. Details about the preliminary list of Short Courses is posted on www.EAS.org.
For more information, contact Oscar Liu, 2009 EAS Short Courses Chair at askeas@eas.org.

Exposition
The 235+ booths at EAS provide the scientist with a convenient single location to find out about new equipment, services, and technologies. Meeting and discussing a vendor's product can make all the difference. EAS consistently provides high booth traffic and the high quality leads. Participation by vendors in all aspects of EAS - booths, papers, short courses, and workshops - benefits not only the conferees, but the exhibitors as well. Exhibitors and attendees recognize that good science = quality leads = the best possible Exposition. Don't forget to participate in all aspects of the Exposition!
