Global Virtual Symposia
Global Reach, Local Time, Online:
Present your research at ACS Fall 2024 during your time zone!
Global Virtual Symposia is a new initiative of the ACS Meetings that offers researchers to present their work online at ACS Fall 2024 at the convenience of their time zone.
The symposia sessions have been scheduled across multiple GMT time zones to encourage participation from Asia, Oceania, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America. Researchers from these regions make use of this opportunity.
In addition to the convenience of time, researchers enjoy similar benefits such as selected abstracts being deposited to the CAS database as well as presenting work to the global stage, which are hallmarks of the ACS Meetings. These virtual meetings adhere to the stringent and time-tested processes.
The following symposia are part of this initiative.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are Flash presentations?
They are brief, impactful, and convey information about a novel protocol, perspective, technique, or research results. For instance, one Flash Talk may describe an innovative interdisciplinary research outcome. Another may describe results for a pilot/prototype study.
-
Can I submit an abstract if I'm not an early career researcher?
This symposium focuses on early career researchers, but all researchers are welcome to attend. However, the format of the presentation will be 8 minutes flash talk.
-
What is the submission deadline for abstracts?
The submission deadline for abstracts is April 1, 11:59 PM ET.
-
What is the required format for abstracts?
