Past Events

Commodity Classic is the premier convention and trade show of the National Corn Growers Association, American Soybean Association, National Association of Wheat Growers and National Sorghum Producers.

Waterborne Lead Hydrologist, Dr. Dan Perkins, and Agricultural Engineer, Greg Goodwin, will be attending this conference. If you have questions about our field studies capabilities and nutrient work, set up a time to chat with Dr. Perkins and Mr. Goodwin.

Environmental contaminants ignore boundaries and ecosystem limits. Under the general theme Environmental contaminants from land to sea: continuities and interface in environmental toxicology and chemistry, experts from academia, government and industry will share the most recent advanced knowledge in environmental sciences in order to improve chemical risk assessment and support current and future policies. Waterborne experts, Amy Ritter and Chris Holmes, will be attending SETAC Europe and will have several presentations and posters during their time there.

Visit our SETAC Europe Conference page to see Waterborne’s presentation schedule >>

To set up a meeting with Ms. Ritter or Mr. Holmes during their time in Nantes email Casey Wisch @ wischc@waterborne-env.com. They can also be emailed directly at rittera@waterborne-env.com and holmesc@waterborne-env.com.

Waterborne Scientist, Dr. Amelie Schmolke, will be attending the International Society for Ecological Modelling Global Conference in May 8-12, 2016. To connect with Dr. Schmolke while she is in Towson, please email her directly at schmolkea@waterborne-env.com or connect with Casey Wisch at wischc@waterborne-env.com who can assist with scheduling.

Waterborne Environmental attends the annual National Alliance of Independent Crop Consultants Conference almost every year. We will be there to meet with clients and listen to sessions on pesticide safety, USDA APHIS Requirements, EPA GLP inspection issues,  microorganisms, organic row cropping systems, cover crops & soil health and more. Let us know if you will be there too!

As usual, Waterborne will be present at the spring Environmental Modeling Public Meeting (EMPM) hosted the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Waterborne experts Amy Ritter, Chris Holmes and Dr. Dan Perkins will also be present.

Waterborne Scientist, Amelie Schmolke, will be presenting at 11:00AM EST:

Population Model of a Threatened Plant Species for Application in Pesticide Risk Assessment

Amelie Schmolke (Waterborne Environmental), Richard Brain ( Syngenta Crop Protection), Pernille Thorbek (Syngenta, Environmental Safety), Daniel Perkins (Waterborne Environmental), Valery Forbes (College of Biological Sciences, University of Minnesota).

If you would like to arrange a meeting with any of our experts during EMPM, please email Casey Wisch at wischc@waterborne-env.com.

Matt Kern, Principal Scientist, Environmental Risk Assessment, will be representing Waterborne at the CLA and RISE Conference this April and will be presenting:

ESA Assessment: What Models are Relevant to Terrestrial and Aquatic Systems?

Matt Kern (Waterborne Environmental), Kristina Garber (U.S. EPA, Office of Pesticide Programs), Jeffrey Giddings (Compliance Services International ), Cathy Tortorici (NOAA, Endangered Species Act Interagency Cooperation Division).

The Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force holds public meetings throughout the Mississippi River Basin to inform the public of the progress toward moving forward on Gulf Hypoxia. On Tuesday, April 26, Waterborne Lead Hydrologist, Dr. Dan Perkins, and Agricultural Engineer, Greg Goodwin, will be attending this task force meeting to share information about Waterborne’s nutrient work and be a part of important industry discussions on this topic. To meet with Dr. Perkins or Mr. Goodwin while they are in St. Louis, email Casey Wisch at wischc@waterborne-env.com.

The 2015 International Chemical Congress of Pacific Basin Societies (PAC CHEM™), will take place in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, December 15-20, 2015. The conference is sponsored jointly by the American Chemical Society (ACS), the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC), the Chemical Society of Japan (CSJ), the New Zealand Institute of Chemistry (NZIC), the Royal Australian Chemical Institute (RACI), the Korean Chemical Society (KCS), and the Chinese Chemical Society (CCS). The American Chemical Society is the host society for the 2015 Congress.

Pacifichem 2015 will be the seventh in the series of successful cosponsored scientific conferences of Pacific Basin Chemical Societies. Founded in 1984, these conferences have been held in Honolulu, Hawaii about every five years.

The Pacifichem 2015 Theme

The theme of Pacifichem 2015 is Chemical Networking: Building Bridges Across the Pacific, emphasizing the collaborative nature of chemistry as a multidisciplinary science and the opportunities to network with Pan-Pacific research groups at the Pacifichem meetings.

Collaborations in Chemistry

In keeping with the theme, Pacifichem 2015 welcomes proposals focusing on collaborations in chemistry. Symposia showcasing various aspects of collaboration across different geographic regions or between different sectors of chemical research (industry, academia, research institutes, government laboratories) are welcome, as are symposia focusing on partnerships between traditional industries and contract research organizations (CROs) or contract manufacturing organizations (CMO’s). Other collaborative arrangements of interest include precompetitive industrial collaborations on enabling chemical technologies, new technologies and new strategies for facilitating effective collaborations across multiple time zones, and managing intellectual property and licensing.

Industry in Chemistry

In recognizing the increasing importance of pan-Pacific collaborations in the chemical industry, Pacifichem 2015 welcomes symposia proposals related to Industry in Chemistry. Topics of potential interest include emerging challenges in the chemical industry, entrepreneurship and job creation in chemistry, translating chemical research discoveries into new commercial products, IP concerns in chemistry, optimization of chemistry workflows, use of six sigma and lean manufacturing practices in the chemical industry, disruptive chemical technologies, platform technologies in chemistry, leadership in the chemical industry, management in the chemical industry, talent acquisition training in the chemical industry, etc.

Pacifichem 2010

Pacifichem 2010 was held in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA, December 15 – 20, 2010 with a record number of 12,520 attendees, 163 Exhibitors, 235 symposia, and 13,268 abstracts. A description of each symposium offered may be found in the list of the 2010 Technical Symposia. All sessions scheduled and papers presented may be browsed through the Program Book.
