• Enhanced Exhibit Hall Hours and New Exhibit Hall Receptions—see page 109
Enhanced exhibit hall hours ensure that participants have plenty of time for convenient, hands-on exploration of new
technologies and to discuss new techniques with exhibitors. In addition, this year we have added Exhibit Hall Receptions
during the last hour of open exhibits on Monday and Wednesday. These receptions allow participants to visit exhibitors
with whom they haven’t yet connected while convening with friends and colleagues and enjoying complimentary
beverages and hors d’oeuvres.
• SLAS New Product Award Designation—see page 110
Recognizes up to three of the best and most promising new products launched on the exhibit floor.
