Exposition Admission to the exposition is complimentary for all national meeting registrants. While planning your schedule in Orlando, reserve some time to visit the ACS national exposition. In addition to functioning as a showcase for the most upto-date scientific products and services, the exposition serves as a valuable source of continuing education for meeting attendees. Located in Halls B3 & 4 of the Orange County Convention Center, the exposition will be open Monday, Aug. 26, 9 AM to 5 PM; Tuesday, Aug. 27, 9 AM to 5 PM; and Wednesday, Aug. 28, 9 AM to 4 PM. The exposition will consist of about 400 booths, representing almost 250 companies and organizations displaying everything from instruments and books to computer hardware and scientific software, from lab and safety equipment to furniture. Each exhibiting organization will have technical personnel present to give demonstrations, answer questions, and discuss your needs and interests. Play "Pick 6." Be sure to play the "Pick 6" game in the exhibit hall. Attendees will have the chance to win up to $2,000 in merchandise from the participating exhibitor of their choice. Complete details and game cards will be available on-site in the registration and badge pick-up areas of the convention center, as well as in certain convention hotels. Free Internet Access—Internet Corral. ACS will provide free Internet access to meeting attendees in the rear of the exhibit hall in the convention center during regularly scheduled exposition hours. A total of 30 terminals will be available for attendees inside the exposition. Prize and Souvenir Booths. In addition to the comprehensive display of products and services of interest to the scientific community, there will be several drawings for prizes and a free ACS souvenir for all visitors to the exposition. Prize tickets can be dropped off at booths 866, 868, and the souvenir may be picked up at booths 154,156. Admission Requirements. Although admission to the exposition is complimentary for all meeting registrants, a badge is required to enter the exhibit hall. Badges will be mailed to all preregistrants; on-site registrants can obtain a badge in the main registration area of the convention center. Expo-Only Registration. Those not registering for the meeting,
but interested in visiting the exhibits, can obtain an exhibits-only badge for $25. Students with school identification will be charged $5. There will be no preregistration for exhibits-only attendees; exhibitsonly badges can be purchased in the main registration area of the convention center. Exposition Workshops. A series of free exposition workshops will be conducted in Orlando and will cover a variety of topics. Workshops will be held Monday through Wednesday, Aug. 26 through 28, in the convention center.

Interfacing to HyperChem. Sponsor: Hypercube, booth 306. Instructors: Mirek Sopek, Dragan Vuckovic, and Diane Richardson. 1:30 to 4:30 PM. Room 221B. An introduction to HyperChem and the new CDK (Chemist's Developer Kit) will be given, as well as many working examples of interfacing HyperChem with other molecular modeling/quantum chemistry programs or other applications. Although HyperChem itself has proven to be an extremely popular molecular modeling product, one of its great strengths in the long term is revolving around its "open architecture." This architecture makes it possible to easily integrate thirdparty applications, adding to the general success of HyperChem and its companion thirdparty products.
