Rocky Mountain High - and Getting Higher by the Day

Report on the 59th ASMS Conference, Denver, Colarado, USA, June 5th - 9th

Once again the mighty ASMS Conference flexes its muscles and heads into town, on this occasion Denver, Colorado, even allowing for the fact that it was only a few years ago when the city last hosted the event. For a change this year in the review we invited three, past and current, committee members from the British Mass Spec Society (BMSS), all of whom have visited the event several times before, to give their opinions on what can be a mind (maybe foot as well) numbing week but as ever you get out of it what you put in. All of the usual stats regarding numbers of attendees, oral and poster numbers, exhibitors (sorry, Corporate members of ASMS) can be found within the reviews but a vey salient point was made by Jackie Mosely whose comment that there was room for improvement in some oral presentations reiterated that quantity does not equal quality when it comes to the presentations.
