I have attended the Land o Lakes analytical conference
sponsored by the University of Wisconsin about 7 times with the prior 6
occasions being held at the resort and some 15 years in the past. The conference has moved to Madison and I
attended the analytical session last month. How does the new venue compare to
the historic Devil’s Head Resort conferences?
First, I was pleasantly surprised that Madison Wisconsin in
early August is one of the most beautiful and socially involved cities I have
visited. Lunch at the Memorial Union on
the shores of Lake Mendota was outstanding but the trip during one evening was
spectacular with over 1000 locals, students and tourist gathering for an
evening of socializing. The capital
building, street artist and many restaurants added to wonder of this
conference. I remember an unforgettable
seasonal BLT, with local toasted bread, heirloom tomatoes, thick sliced bacon,
with a pile of greens that appeared to have just been picked.
Second, the analytical conference speakers
presented topics covering USP, elemental impurities, GTX impurities, stability,
dissolution, forced degradation and a special session for Q&A for methods
transfer. As the number of attendees is less than 100, I found the technical
discussions to be intimate and educational.
The conference format allows one to have meaningful interactions with
other attendees representing the pharmaceutical analytical disciplines. I am looking forward to next year’s event in
wonderful Madison Wisconsin.
