Press registration opens for American Chemical Society National Meeting & Exposition
News media registration opened today for the American Chemical Society's (ACS') 243rd National Meeting & Exposition, one of the largest scientific conferences of the New Year. The meeting will be held March 25-29, 2012, in San Diego, Calif., and will take place at the San Diego Convention Center and at area hotels.
With more than 11,700 presentations on new discoveries that span science's horizons — from astronomy to zoology ― the meeting will offer print, broadcast and online journalists a rich assortment of spot news and feature possibilities. The topics include food and nutrition, medicine, health, energy, the environment and other fields where chemistry plays a central role. Some of those presentations will connect with the meeting's theme, "Chemistry of Life."
The ACS Office of Public Affairs will operate a press center in the convention center. It will include a press conference room and a news media workroom fully staffed to assist in arranging interviews. The press center will have wireless Internet access, telephones, computers, photocopy and fax services, and refreshments.
