The day was FREE to all attendees, including breakfast, lunch, and drinks. Chemistry journals donated by Elsevier, ACS Publishers, CRC Press, Wiley, Academic Press, Dekker, Klewer, Science, and Nature. There were 40 submitted posters representing research in organic, inorganic, physical, and analytical chemistry, and approximately 100 student attendees. Fortunately, the day went very smoothly and everyone had a great time. We also cut the duration of the poster session.
People get bored.
We didn t do an after party, however. We also rented tables and chairs something we didn t have last year, and it made a huge difference. Emails announcing the conference, addressed to the Chemistry Department Chairpersons of Boston-area Colleges and Universities. Letters announcing the conference, addressed to the Chemistry Department Chairpersons of Boston-area Colleges and Universities. A lot of emailing.
