18th International Conference and Exhibition
Organic Process Research & Development
The Definitive Process Development Conference!
23 - 26 June 2008, Montreal, Canada
The Original Process Chemistry Conference!
The conversion of a chemical process into a process for manufacture on tonnage scale is of vital importance in the Chemical and Pharmaceutical industries, both from an economic and often regulatory viewpoint. This was recognised by the American Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry with the launch of their publication Organic Process Research and Development in January 1997, edited by Trevor Laird of Scientific Update.
The eighteenth International Conference on Organic Process Research and Development will bring together chemists and engineers from all parts of the world to discuss issues related to synthetic route design, development and optimisation, and the scale-up of these processes in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical and allied fields.
PLUS Optional Short Course
Microwave Heating as a Tool for Process Chemists
Dr Nicholas Leadbeater, University of Connecticut, USA
Microwave heating is now established as an important tool for synthetic chemists. This workshop will give an overview and understanding of the techniques and equipment available and provide insights into how to generate robust syntheses for scale up using microwave heating.

Why exhibit at this event?
- Join other exhibitors who feature at many of our conferences each year
- Meet high-quality delegates from key international companies
- Interact directly with senior scientists, department heads and key descision makers
The conference programme is designed to provide exhibitors with the maximum time to mix with the delegates. Breakfasts, coffee breaks, lunches and evening receptions are all held in the exhibition area, providing a relaxed atmosphere for delgates and exhibitors to meet and network with each other.
*Registered attendees can present a scientific technical poster FREE and have this published in the conference proceedings. Please send an abstract of your poster by email to sciup@scientificupdate.co.uk or use the online form.
The organisers reserve the right to change the published programme of events and speakers as circumstances dictate.
