What is ACS Program-in-a-Box?

Your group will gather to watch a 75-minute interactive livestream broadcast from ACS Headquarters featuring technical presentations from experts, Q&A, trivia, networking ice breakers, and prizes. Each member community receives a box from ACS that includes giveaways, social media props, instructions, and other support materials to help plan their watch party. Attendees are also encouraged to join in the fun by posting photos and videos to the event social media wall and by taking advantage of the optional “expansion pack” resources to help groups plan safe hands-on experiments and demos before or after the livestream.

My group is not an official ACS member community. Can we still participate?

This event is aimed at ACS member communities and sister organizations (ex. student chapters, local sections, technical divisions) but we welcome groups not yet affiliated with ACS to register for the livestream and participate online. Currently, physical boxes are an exclusive benefit for groups hosted by ACS members and ACS member communities but there will be more information about box eligibility posted here in August when registration launches.

Can my high school chemistry group participate?

This event is aimed at college-age students through early career chemists but may be appropriate for some high schools and other groups. Please contact multimedia@acs.org if you have questions about program content and eligibility for this event.

What equipment do I need to provide for my event?

You provide the room to stream the event! Please ensure the room has a good wifi connection, and your video stream is set to play audio.  We recommend attendees bring their smartphones, tablet or laptop to participate in the social media wall, trivia, Q&A, and other activities. 

I have more questions! Who do I talk to?
