Activities of the MinnMass Discussion Group include approximately four meetings and a summer picnic each year, a vendor evening and one off-site meeting every other year. The meetings typically involve presentations by local and/or visiting scientists from the Midwest area. In some cases, tours of mass spectrometry facilities are conducted after these presentations. Periodically, guest speakers from the American Society of Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) and the Chicago Mass Spectrometry Group are invited to give presentations. Every other year, MinnMass sponsors a Vendor Evening where sales representatives from major instrument manufacturers gather to discuss their company's products and recent accomplishments. These gatherings have proven to be a very beneficial clearing house for those interested in keeping up-to-date in current mass spectrometry products.
