The Pittsburgh Conference (PITTCON) on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy was held on March 1-5, 2025, in Boston, MA, USA. Attending the event was a brilliant way to begin March. For someone who has followed this event for over 20 years—on and off—it’s remarkable how some things have transformed dramatically while others remain comfortingly familiar. I still remember my first PITTCON in 2005 in Orlando, Florida. A lot has changed in the intervening years–technologies, themes, players–but the heart of the event remains the same: a confluence of brilliant minds, groundbreaking technologies, and the unrelenting pursuit of innovation in analytical science. 

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries, its impact on Test & Measurement (T&M) is creating unprecedented opportunities. From healthcare to manufacturing and space exploration, AI is pushing businesses to adopt advanced testing frameworks that ensure accuracy, reliability, and security in AI-driven systems. This intensifies the need for organizations to enhance their T&M strategies to stay competitive in the evolving AI landscape.
