When asked to comment about the goals for the Pittcon 2008 Exposition, Exposition Chairman Janeth Pifer replied, "We believe Pittcon is a unique opportunity for conferees, as well as exhibitors, and we continually strive to add value to make Pittcon a truly worthwhile and productive experience for all. This year, we have implemented several enhancements to the floor in response to attendee and exhibitor feedback including increasing the complimentary mixer locations, restructuring the Poster area, and adding a 10,000 square foot rest area, Jackson Square, fashioned after the famous New Orleans landmark—just to name a few."
