SLASThe Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening (SLAS) announced a partnership with the American Chemical Society (ACS) San Diego Section on activities related to SLAS2014.

SLAS2014, the Third Annual Conference and Exhibition of SLAS, will be held January 18-22, 2014, at the San Diego Convention Center.

As mission-driven organizations that serve a mutual audience of professional scientists, SLAS and ACS San Diego have agreed to collaborate on several projects leading up to and taking place at SLAS2014.

These include cross-organizational communications, optimizing the conference scientific program, peer networking at the conference, and student mentoring and assisting emerging scientific professionals.

As part of this alliance, ACS San Diego will serve as the exclusive sponsor of an all-attendee lunch at SLAS2014 in January. The Mentorship Program at SLAS2014 will benefit students and emerging professionals by connecting them with established scientists and others who can provide career advice to those aspiring to a career in laboratory science.

The latest information on SLAS2014 can be found at www.SLAS2014.org.

Attendee registration will be available in August 2013. The complete scientific program will be published in September.
