This years annual Lyophilization Conference will take place at the OAK BROOK HILLS RESORT in Chicago. IL and events will take place during September 13 - 19, 2003. Because it is truly an International Society, it is committed to hold its conferences in countries in various parts of the world (Beijing, China in 2004; Morocco in April 2005; Rio de Janeiro in September 2005 and Paris, France 2006 ). As a consequence, it may not be until 2007 before the Lyophilization Conference will again return to the United States.

September 16 - 19, 2003 - Lyophilization Conference 2003
It indeed is correct to call it a conference for it brings together at one place many of the leading experts from a variety of fields to share their knowledge of lyophilization and freeze drying. This is not a conference where one dwells on a single discipline but a conference involving many disciplines and it is this cross-pollination that exposes one to new approaches, new concepts that one may find applicable in their work. It is broadening the understanding of the field of lyophilization that makes this Conference so important and so effective that many who attended last years conference are anxious to attend this conference.
But to the attendee, the conference will not only give technical enlightenment but an “experience”. It is an experience because those who attend will come away with not only ideas of new approaches and perhaps answers to old questions but also memories and new friendships that will last a lifetime. That is why it is more than just a conference, it's an experience - just ask someone who attended the conference in Amsterdam what they think.
