PRELIMINARY PROGRAMARCHITECTURE Castironbalconies are thetraditional look of NewOrleans’ French Quarter.<strong>245TH</strong> <strong>ACS</strong><strong>NATIONAL</strong> <strong>MEETING</strong>NEW ORLEANS, April 7–11New Orleans Marriotton Tuesday at 6 PM andPeter J. Stang, DistinguishedProfessor atthe University of Utah,will deliver the PriestleyMedal Address. Althoughthe banquet is aticketed event, all registeredmeeting attendeesare welcome to cometo the Priestley MedalAddress at 9:30 PM, freeof charge. The ArthurC. Cope Award winnerswill be recognized at the<strong>ACS</strong> fall national meetingin Indianapolis.If you have time to spare between theseorganized events, the sights and sounds ofNew Orleans are just steps away from theconvention center. The Riverwalk Marketplacehas many authentic Louisiana eats,jazz hot spots are scattered throughout theFrench Quarter, and historical streetcarscan take you to attractions that are fartheraway. As they say in New Orleans, laissezles bons temps rouler!—EMILY BONESSHUTTERSTOCK<strong>MEETING</strong> INFO ON THE WEBwww.acs.org/neworleans2013LOCATED NEAR the French Quarter, theNew Orleans Ernest N. Morial ConventionCenter will serve as the location to host the245th American <strong>Chemical</strong> Society NationalMeeting.Symposia supporting the meeting’stheme, “Chemistry of Energy & Food,” areorganized by thematic program chair JamesN. Seiber, professor emeritus at the Universityof California, Davis, and editor of theJournal of Agricultural & Food Chemistry.<strong>ACS</strong> President Marinda Li Wu will host29 technical divisions and seven committeesin original programming over 985 half-dayoral sessions and 101 poster sessions thatinclude Sci-Mix. Nearly 12,000 papers willbe presented, and more than 4,500 posterpresentations will take place at the meeting.In addition to supporting the meetingtheme, Wu has also set a presidential agenda,“Partners for Progress & Prosperity.”On Monday and Tuesday she will sponsora symposium series, “Vision 2025: Helping<strong>ACS</strong> Members Thrive in the Global ChemistryEnterprise.” Chemists with experiencein academia, business, government, internationalchemical societies, and global startupswill participate in the three-part event.Many education-focused programs forhigh school teachers, undergraduate andgraduate students, postdocs, and chemicalprofessionals will be offered. A range ofprofessional development courses will beavailable; <strong>ACS</strong> Short Courses have a separateregistration and fee. For job seekers andemployers, the <strong>ACS</strong> Career Fair will provideopportunities for interviews (both on-siteand online), one-on-one career assistance,and more than 30 career-related workshops.The exposition will feature more than250 companies showcasing services, instruments,books, lab equipment, and muchmore in booths that number more than 400.The 2013 <strong>ACS</strong> national award winnerswill be recognized with a banquet at theTechnical Program Summary 48General Meeting Information 67Registration 67Ticketed Events 69Registration Form 70Accommodations 71Green Meeting Initiatives 73Travel & Transportation 74Member Services 74On-Site Meeting Arrangements 75Speaker Instructions 76Abstracts & Preprints 77Special & Educational Events 77Presidential Events 77National Awards 78Student & Teacher Activities 80Workshops 81<strong>ACS</strong> Short Courses 82<strong>ACS</strong> Career Fair 83Exposition 84Governance Meetings 85Board & Council Meetings 85Committee Agenda 85WWW.CEN-ONLINE.ORG 47 JANUARY 28, 2013
