This one-day meeting brings together a diverse community to explore recent advances, ongoing challenges, and emerging opportunities at the exciting intersection of analytical sciences and nanotechnology. By fostering dialogue across disciplines, the meeting highlights how cutting-edge studies are driving innovation at the nanoscale.

Attendees will have many opportunities to connect and exchange ideas with researchers, scientists, and engineers from industry and government laboratories, as well as academics from a wide range of fields—including faculty, postdoctoral researchers, and students at all levels. Representatives from funding agencies, potential investors, and other stakeholders will also be in attendance, creating a vibrant environment for collaboration and discovery.

The program will feature discussions on topics such as:

  •  real-world examples and challenges in translating nanomaterials from the laboratory to commercial products
  •  discovery of new properties and emerging applications of engineered nanomaterials
  •  recent advances and future opportunities in analytical methods for nanomaterial characterization 
  •  the growing impact of nanotechnology in the life sciences, energy, the environment, and beyond!

The meeting will be held in person on April 30, 2026, with doors opening at 8:00 a.m. Invited oral presentations from leading speakers in academia, industry, and government will begin at 8:45 a.m. The program will also include student presentations and multiple dedicated opportunities for learning, discussion, and networking. A detailed schedule of events for NanoLytica 2026 is available online.

Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors, this one-day meeting is offered at a discounted registration rate. Lunch will be provided, along with coffee breaks throughout the day.

Student presenters will also compete for prizes, adding an extra element of excitement and recognition for emerging researchers.
