What is APACT?

The CPACT consortium organises APACT as an open forum for the presentation and discussion of scientific and engineering innovations in any aspect of process monitoring, data analysis, process modelling and process control. Unlike some conferences it is not sector specific, but aims to promote learning across industries, highlighting recent advances and the benefits achieved.
 
The safety, environmental, sustainability and financial benefits of advanced process analysis, modelling and control have never been more important to the pharmaceutical, chemicals, materials, oil/petrochemicals, biotechnology and food industries, and many others. APACT focuses on technological advances that can make a real difference to the process industries.
 
The conference is multi-disciplinary and is smaller than multi-session events, so has plenty of opportunity for networking.
 

APACT will feature:

  • Invited and submitted talks
  • Posters (Including a prize for best poster)
  • Flash poster presentations
  • Exhibition
  • Exhibitors Showcase sessions (unique format to APACT)
  • Welcome reception
  • Inclusive social activities
  • Pre-conference courses
  • Student Scholarships

Who should attend?

The conference is aimed at:
  • Senior managers, scientists and engineers in the process industries
  • Academics specializing in analytical science, multivariate data analysis, process modelling, control technologies and other related disciplines
  • Companies that develop and market products for process analysis, data analysis and modelling and control

What delegates say about APACT Conferences:

 
 
Brian Rohrback, President

Infometrix

I was able to attend the APACT meeting in April in New Jersey (first time in the US!). It is a fabulous meeting organized by the CPACT group out of the University of Strathclyde. The presentations, the posters and the exhibit were a perfect size to encourage interaction among the delegates."... "I know there is resistance to those controlling the purse strings to sending technical people to scientific meetings. All chemistry happens at an interface. I make the case that this applies to chemists as well; attending a technical meeting benefits all attendees and all attendee companies.

Thomas Vent-Schmidt, Leading PAT Scientist at Syngenta Crop Protection AG

Syngenta

Attending the APACT conference always feels like coming home. It is such a great opportunity to reconnect or to get to know new people from vendors, academia and other end-user companies. The format offers an excellent and balanced mix of great scientific presentations and posters that cover the full breath of PAT, a unique vendor pitch format and social activities.

Dr Giorgia Marucci, Product Manager

HORIBA

The APACT conference is always a great opportunity to dive into the latest advances in PAT technologies and process control, with impressive posters and presentations. The strong connection between academia and industry is palpable, with plenty of discussions on current challenges and ways to collaborate. Finally, it was fantastic to see vendors showcasing their newest innovations in the most creative and entertaining ways possible, giving everyone the chance to explore the latest tools and solutions in the field.

Diana Macasev, Sales & Marketing Director

InProcess LSP

Attending APACT has significantly broadened our network and deepened our understanding of process analytical technologies. The event provided an excellent platform to showcase our innovative NanoFlowSizer, allowing us to engage with a wide and diverse audience. APACT has been instrumental in connecting us with industry leaders and fostering valuable discussions that have driven our work forward

Jessica Gabb (MChem), Business Development Manager

IS-Instruments

Being members of CPACT and attending the APACT conferences has been invaluable to ISI, we have made new connections with end-users and have used these contacts to develop our instruments into the realms of PAT. The APACT events are always insightful, full of exciting new technology and lots of fun. We look forward to continuing to attend more APACT events in the future.

Owen Rehrauer, President

Sentronic US Corp.

APACT has been a fantastic opportunity to create interactions between industry and academic groups, which are easily catalyzed into longer-term relationships and projects thanks to CPACT. Sentronic has started several academic collaborations which were started by discussions we've had after an APACT presentation.

From a Vendor perspective APACT is always a great networking opportunity and the organisers always try hard to make it a “vendor-friendly” event. As a scientific meeting APACT has a great programme, some excellent speakers and covers all aspects of PAT.
