Europe & US Symposiums bring leading sorption scientist together
2024 saw a grand return for the live editions of the Sorption Symposium Series. With the 202 Pandemic scuppering plans for a live scientific event in 2020, Surface Measurement Systems were thrilled to be able to bring the event back to the face-to-face format, enabling a shared learning and networking experience for sorption scientists from around the world.
Eager to offer an in-person return to our users and peers around the world, the Sorption Symposium saw two live events held this year. The first, taking place in May, was held at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, while the second returned to the venue we had to cancel in 2020, University of Vienna, for our European symposium in September.

| The Sorption Symposium North America 2024, organized by Surface Measurement Systems, recently concluded with great success, showcasing the latest advancements in sorption science. Held in Allentown, PA, the event attracted over 60 attendees from various industries, including pharmaceuticals, environmental sciences, and material engineering. It offered a rich program featuring renowned speakers such as Dr. Maria Krisch from FreeThink Technologies and Dr. Neeraj Borker from 3M. Their presentations, alongside other experts, covered critical topics in sorption behavior, moisture analysis, and its applications across diverse fields.
A highlight of the event was the strong participation in the hands-on training sessions, where attendees received practical insights and guidance from an expert panel. The training provided an interactive platform for participants to deepen their understanding of dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) technology and its role in enhancing material performance, stability, and formulation development. This engaging format fostered an environment of collaboration and learning, elevating the educational value of the symposium. The symposium also created ample opportunities for networking, particularly during the on-site Networking Party. Attendees had the chance to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and explore potential collaborations, further strengthening the event’s impact. Overall, the Sorption Symposium North America 2024 was a resounding success, bringing together a diverse group of professionals to share knowledge, engage in hands-on experiences, and build relationships within the sorption science community. |
