ACS National Meetings occur twice a year in various cities around the U.S. and each one attracts an estimated 11,000 to 13,000 chemists, chemical engineers, academicians, graduate and undergraduate students, and other related professionals. Each meeting features more than 7,000 presentations organized into technical symposia that highlight important research advances.

The Spring 2012 meeting will focus on the advancements made in basic and applied research toward the understanding of the chemistry of life, both at the molecular and macroscopic levels.
