The Process Development Division of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers has been organizing the Process Development Symposium every other year starting in 2003. The goal of the symposia is to bring the process development community together from industry (such as food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, petroleum, and fine chemicals industries), academic institutions, government labs, and equipment suppliers. Domestic and international participants are invited to gather in a less formal setting that will foster learning and open information exchange. The symposium attendees should be able to share experiences of colleagues from different industries and learn about work practices that can be utilized after the symposium in their jobs.
