Over 100 participants from 16 countries attended the sessions. Fortunately for me, everything was in English, though I did have a chance to speak French with some of the attendees. A special pleasure was getting to meet Dr. Gy and hear his personal account of how he came to develop TOS. It was also a delight to give my presentation with him in the audience. A wide variety of topics were presented in formal sessions and in poster sessions. Selected, refereed papers will appear in a special issue of Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems. A few examples include:
In addition to learning about these topics, I talked with people in the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and mining. I also looked at sampling equipment on display. The next conference will be held in Brisbane, Australia, in 2005, and will be organized by the newly elected board members. I will be part of a working group to draft a document for Good Sampling Practices based on Gy's theory. More details on the Esbjerg conference and follow up activities can be found at http://www.isbf.info/index.asp. More information about sampling equipment and
procedures for solids, liquids, and gases is available in the Short
