ACS National Meeting
CHED Events: Chicago These CHED committee meetings are planned for the Spring 2007 ACS Meeting in Chicago. All will take place in the Chicago Marriott Downtown (540 North Michigan Avenue, between Grand and Ohio) with the exception of the Business Meeting and Sunday evening poster session, which will be in the Hyatt Regency Chicago (151 East Wacker Drive, just east of Michigan Avenue). CHED members are invited to attend these open meetings. When you are on your way to a committee meeting, it is always prudent to check in the lobby or foyer for the inevitable last-minute room changes that may be posted there.
