Symposium

The 2024 Anachem Symposium will be held on Thursday, November 7, 2024 at our new location, The Vistatech Center at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, MI. A plenary lecture will be given by the 2024 recipient of the Anachem Award, Dr. Facundo Fernández, Regents' Professor and Vasser-Woolley Chair in Bioanalytical Chemistry and Associate Chair for Research and Graduate Training at the Georgia Institute of Technology. An award session with invited speakers will be presented in his honor. This year’s symposium will also include four oral sessions devoted to research at the academic institutions in our region. Additionally, our academia colleagues will be holding an interactive oral session focusing on food and beverage analysis. The sessions are described in more detail below. An instrument exhibit, an educational workshop, and a poster session are also important parts of this annual symposium on chemical analysis. A preliminary outline of the Symposium and more details are included below. Register online in advance for a discounted rate. For more information, contact program@Anachem.org.
