What is "the hitchhiker's guide to quality assurance"?
The Royal Australian Chemistry Institute's (RACI's) NSW Analytical Chemistry Group is staging this must attend Sydney seminar on quality assurance and is combining it with an exhibition. "the hitchhiker's guide to quality assurance" seminar will be the largest quality assurance seminar ever held in Sydney. The primary goal of the conference is to bring laboratory personnel and end-users of analytical data, who are working in a broad spectrum of fields of chemistry, and present real solutions to the difficult quality assurance problems. The seminar also aims to maximise the interaction between the two groups. The structure of the conference will facilitate this through the presence of national experts in the field who are known for their multi-disciplinary interests, a comprehensive trade exhibition and a venue that will promote a high flow of information and interaction.
Who Will Attend?
"The hitchhiker's guide to quality assurance" seminar has been designed to serve the needs of laboratory personnel and the end-users of analytical data. The seminar is not afraid to tackle and solve all your quality assurance problems. An estimate of 200 delegates will attend the seminar, and they will include: academics, industrial chemists, laboratory staff, researchers, educators, students, regulators and professionals in the fields of analytical chemistry, clinical biochemistry, forensic science, environmental chemistry, mining, food science and pharmaceutical chemistry.
