he 224th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society will be held Sunday, Aug. 18, through Thursday, Aug. 22, at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston, Mass. The meeting will feature more than 460 technical sessions and presentations. The Division of Analytical Chemistry (DAC) will sponsor or cosponsor 22 technical symposia. Other highlights of the meeting will include the ACS workshops, short courses, and a national employment clearinghouse. Social events will include the DAC poster session on Sunday evening, Aug. 18, and a Sci-Mix on Monday, Aug. 19. On-site registration facilities will be located in the convention center. Hours of operation will be Saturday, Aug. 17, 3–7 p.m.; Sunday, Aug. 18, 7:30 a.m.–7 p.m.; Monday, Aug. 19, 7:30 a.m.–5 p.m.; Tuesday, Aug. 20, 7:30 a.m.–5 p.m.; Wednesday, Aug. 21, 7:30 a.m.–4 p.m.; and Thursday, Aug. 22, 7:30 a.m.–11:30 a.m. On-site registration is $320 for ACS members, $555 for nonmembers, $165 for emeritus and retired members, and $55 for graduate students. One-day session tickets will cost $165 for members and $320 for nonmembers. An exposition featuring 490 booths and more than 300 companies will present the latest instruments, books, computer hardware, scientific software, lab equipment, furniture, and safety equipment.

with school identification). A series of free exposition workshops on various topics will be offered Monday, Aug. 20, through Wednesday, Aug. 21. Additional information will be published in the final program. The technical program will be highlighted by the presentation of the following DAC awards: Award in Spectrochemical Analysis—Geri Richmond; Award for Distinguished Service in Analytical Chemistry—Donald Bly; Award in Chemical Instrumentation—Jonathan Sweedler; J. Calvin Giddings Award for Excellence in Education—James Taylor. The DAC dinner is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 20, at the Legal Seafood Park Square restaurant (26 Park Square, Boston). Ticket prices will be announced at a later date, and tickets will be available for purchase from any DAC officer at the meeting. A social hour will precede dinner. The ACS Department of Continuing Education will offer several analytical chemistry-related short courses at the meeting. The courses will be taught in the following four hotels: Boston Park Plaza, Omni Parker House, Swissotel, and Wyndham Boston.
