ACS National Meeting | March 16-20 2014 | Dallas, Texas - mtwalsh01 - 02-19-2014
247th American Chemical Society (ACS) National Meeting & Exposition
Organisers: American Chemical Society
Dates: March 16th -20th, 2014
Location: Dallas, Texas, USA
Website: http://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/meetings/spring-2014.html
The website gives all the necessary information on conference agenda, hotel, exhibitions and other important facts. The conference brochure including preliminary programme is attached.
Major theme
“Chemistry & Materials for Energy”
Reasons to attend?
ACS meetings & expositions each year attract 11,000 to 13,000 chemists, chemical engineers, academicians, graduate and undergraduate students, and other related professionals.
Scientists present new multidisciplinary research, hear the latest information in their areas of professional interest, and network with colleagues.
Programming is planned by our 33 technical divisions that cover all scientific fields, secretariats that focus on multidisciplinary programming, and ACS committees.
Each meeting will feature more than 7,000 presentations organized into technical symposia that highlight important research advances.
Attendees will have the opportunity to:
• Discover New Research and Publish Your Work
• Advance Your Career
• Network with your peers
• Learn about New Technologies
Meeting topics
The conference brochure, including preliminary programme is attached and includes information on symposia relevant to biotechnologists. Meeting topics will also include:
