March 23 – 24, 2007 Auditorium S. Margherita, Venice, Italy
We are pleased to invite you to the European High Resolution GC/MS Users Meeting, dedicated to applications in environmental, food and feed analysis. The Users Meeting will be held in cooperation with INCA, Consorzio Interuniversitario Nazionale la Chimica per l’Ambiente, on March 23 and 24, 2007 at the Auditorium Santa Margherita. It is the first time that this event takes place in the beautiful city of Venice.
The European High Resolution GC/MS Users Meeting is expected to attract up to 100 delegates from all over Europe and will feature a comprehensive lecture program covering latest analytical as well as regulatory development. The Users Meeting will serve as an excellent place for the exchange of latest information in high resolution GC/MS applications in environmental, food and feed analysis. The participation is free of charge.
Sensible analytical decisions require analytical data of utmost significance and certainty. The ongoing adjustments of regulations concerning environmental, food and feed analysis reflect the demand for lower detection levels and drive the progress in sample preparation and instrumentation. In parallel, significant progress in target compound analysis has been achieved by using new capabilities in GC separation and high resolution mass spectrometry.

Conference Venue: The Conference will be held at the Auditorium Santa Margherita, next to Campo S. Margherita, one of the most attractive small squares in Venice. The building is very close (10-15 minutes walking) to the two access points of Venice: Piazzale Roma Car Terminal and the Railway Station (Stazione F.S. Venezia S. Lucia). It is also near the waterbus stops of San Tomà and Ca' Rezzonico. The Santa Margherita Auditorium also has a docking area on a side canal, so it may also be reached by private boat.
