2017 ACS Exhibitor Prospectus
About ACS The American Chemical Society (ACS) is the world’s largest scientific society and one of the world’s leading sources and authorities in scientific information. ACS is at the forefront of the evolving worldwide chemical enterprise and the premier professional home for chemists, chemical engineers and related sciences around the world. Twice annually, the ACS sponsors a national meeting–five days of symposia, tutorials, and poster sessions that cover every area of chemistry. More than 10,000 scientists attend each meeting to present new multidisciplinary research, participate in more than 8,000 presentations and network with colleagues. Programming for the ACS National Meetings is planned by our technical divisions and secretariats to cover all scientific fields. • Gain access to our bench-level scientists who work in the fields of chemical and life sciences. • Attract attendees at every stage of their career, from students to entry-level scientists. • Interact with attendees and colleagues during scientific and educational activities. • Network with attendees during social events and networking mixers. • Access the exclusive attendee sponsorship opportunities to promote your company. • Explore your competition in a non-threatening environment. • Develop business-to-business contacts and valuable partner connections.
NEW in the exhibit hall, the ACS Career Fair provides companies like yours a robust avenue to more fully reach the thousands of highly-qualified candidates who attend the ACS National Meeting and Exposition at less cost and with greater efficiency than public boards or classified ads. The ACS Career Fair gives you access to a concentrated, global talent pool of chemical science and engineering professionals with a multitude of in demand skills and expertise. Employers can choose to post open positions and selectively meet with candidates from our career fair in a quiet and private interviewing office, or choose to participate with a more traditional open booth that guarantees increased foot traffic. Can’t decide? Our staff can work with you to help you ensure that your career fair and exposition experience are as productive as possible. Please contact

ACS exhibitions are an excellent opportunity for members of Parr’s Technical and Customer Service teams to meet with researchers individually, face-to-face, to discuss their research needs. These conversations allow us to quickly determine whether our high pressure reactor systems or bomb calorimeters may be useful for their work. Parr has been an exhibitor at both the Spring and Fall National ACS meetings for 20 years, and we believe them to be a crucial means for us to keep in touch with our current customers, meet potential customers, introduce our new products, and stay abreast of current trends in chemistry research. Tim Lehman Director of Sales & Marketing Parr Instrument Company
