ACS Meetings
ACS Meetings & Expositions are where chemistry professionals meet to share ideas and advance scientific and technical knowledge. ACS-affiliated meetings include both National Meetings and Regional Meetings.
NATIONAL ACS MEETINGS
ACS National Meetings provide a place for thousands of chemistry professionals meet to share ideas and advance scientific and technical knowledge. Share your passion for chemistry, connect with one of the world's largest scientific societies, and advance your career in this ever-changing global economy. The Division works actively to support meetings that are of interest to our members, and to provide travel support to students and postdocs to attend the ACS National Meetings.
CURRENT NATIONAL MEETING

REGIONAL ACS MEETINGS
Regional meetings of the American Chemical Society provide young chemists, particularly graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, the opportunity to make professional contacts and hone their presentation skills in a relatively low-key atmosphere. The Division of Biological Chemistry encourages its members to participate in the following regional meetings. Please check the links to the regional meetings below for the most up-to-date information. Additionally, information about travel support for these meetings can be found on the Travel Awards page.

As scientists, discovery is at the forefront of everything we do. We build upon the discoveries of other scientists, make new discoveries ourselves, and publish those discoveries to complete the cycle. In recognition of the quarter-millenial anniversary of one of the most important discoveries of our time, the meeting's theme is "Celebrating Discovery." Through this theme, we will honor and celebrate the groundbreaking work of Joseph Priestley on the discovery of oxygen in 1774.
We hope that MARM 2024 inspires you to make brand new discoveries and foster professional connections with scientists from all over the Mid-Atlantic!
Event Location: University Park, PA

The Washington-Idaho Border Section welcomes you to the Palouse, an area where Eastern Washington meets Northern Idaho, for the 2024 Northwest Regional Meeting (NORM) on June 23rd – 26th, 2024 in Pullman, WA on the Washington State University campus. Being that chemistry has grown to be a more multidisciplinary science, instead of traditional Program Tracks found at National conferences (i.e., Organic, Inorganic, Analytical, Physical), we are using broad strokes to blur the lines between the traditional disciplines with the meeting theme of “Breaking Borders, Building Bonds.”
Oral and poster sessions will promote crosstalk between scientists and engineers from academia, industry, and government on interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and cross-disciplinary topics and studies. We hope you agree and are excited at the opportunity to showcase your work to a diverse crowd.
See you in Pullman, WA!

The Pittsburgh Section of the American Chemical Society is proud to present the 54th Annual Central Regional Meeting (CERM) of the ACS! The meeting will take place from November 6-9, 2024 in Pittsburg, PA.
The 2024 CERM theme is “The Confluence of Chemistry: Past, Present, and Future”. Our beautiful city of Pittsburgh is at the center point of three rivers. The Allegheny river and the Monongahela river join to form the Ohio river. In the same way, chemistry as a whole is built by the chemists of our past, the present-day discoveries, and the outlook of chemistry in the future. Through this theme, we will honor and celebrate the history and future of chemistry with our regional chemistry community in Pittsburgh and beyond.
