MEETING & EXPOSITION INFORMATION ONLINE
Access up-to-date meeting details and the official version of the technical program on the attendee website at chemistry.org/meetings/boston2007. This website will be updated as the meeting nears and includes Registration, Housing, Technical Programming, Exposition, Workshops, and Social & Special Events among other activities. Because some locations may change after C&EN's press time, be sure to pick up a program on-site during the meeting.
"Material Innovations: From Nanotech to Biotech and Beyond!"—the keynote symposium to be hosted by ACS President Catherine T. (Katie) Hunt—supports the meeting's overall theme, "Biotechnology for Health and Wellness." The symposium will feature five world-renowned scientists and innovation leaders and will be followed by a panel discussion.
The centenary of Chemical Abstracts Service will be marked with a presidential symposium followed by a luncheon. Two other anniversaries will be recognized with symposia cosponsored by Hunt: the 20th anniversary of National Chemistry Week and the 25th anniversary of the Division of Chemistry & the Law.
Workshops covering laboratory safety, professional skills for postdocs considering academic careers, helping women chemists develop skills to communicate their achievements, and more will be open to all registrants but require separate registration and/or fees. ACS short courses, designed to improve the skills and marketability of chemical scientists and technicians, also require separate registration and fees.
The C&EN-Chemjobs Career Fair, social events, and exposition round out the meeting.
