Process Development Symposium Brochure (pdf)
20-23 June 2004
Oak Brook Hills Resort
Oak Brook, IL (near Chicago)

There are two fundamental components to successful Process Development. The first is communication to determine "The Right Thing" and retain the information. The second is applying excellent science and technology to the problem at hand, or "Working Right."

At the 2004 Process Development Symposium, we will explore the state of the art of both components, and discuss how to apply it to current and future processes.
