ACS Network
The ACS Network is the world’s largest online scientific community, with more than 270,000 users. It is an open social media platform as well as an online ACS member directory that is free to join. The ACS Network attracts leading scientists and professionals from around the globe, who collaborate within a trusted community of peers. As the role and demand of social media has expanded and heightened over the last five years, the ACS Network has also grown in popularity and participation, especially around special interest groups.
The purpose of the ACS Network is to foster communities of interests, facilitate networking and collaboration and provide a dynamic and valuable exchange of resources and ideas within the world of chemistry. It is the ideal place for scientists to manage their careers, and learn and grow in their profession. Wherever you may be in your career or education, there are countless ways to meet colleagues, engage on projects, join or start discussions, share content and opportunities, organize groups, plan events and activities, and much more!
Regional Meeting Discounts
The American Chemical Society sponsors regional meetings throughout the U.S. that reflect the diverse professional interests in those geographic areas. Regional meetings generally feature 3 to 4 day technical programs where attendees can present papers, network with colleagues or attend workshops and special programming for high school teachers and undergraduates.
Each regional meeting offers an exposition featuring both commercial and academic exhibitors. There are also a variety of awards banquets such as the Division of Chemical Education Regional Award for Excellence in High School Teaching, the E. Ann Nalley Regional Award for Volunteer Services, and the Stanley C. Israel Regional Award for Advancing Diversity in the Chemical Sciences. And, as an ACS member, you are eligible for discounted registration rates. Plan to attend the next regional meeting in your area and discover the excitement of networking with your ACS colleagues.
