Spring Technical Meeting
In place of our usual standalone Rubber Division, ACS Spring Technical Meeting, we will hold a two-day rubber symposium March 23 and 24 inside the scientific program of the American Chemical Society’s national meeting, ACS Spring 2027, taking place March 21–25, 2027 in New Orleans. This will be the first time Rubber Division, ACS has participated in an ACS national meeting in over 50 years. The ACS Spring Meeting draws more than 13,000 chemists, researchers, students and industry leaders. Rubber symposium speakers will present alongside symposia from several other ACS divisions. This puts rubber science in front of a far larger and more interdisciplinary audience. Attendees can also visit the full ACS Exposition, career fairs and networking events.
