Register with your choice of element by clicking
here before you do your
poster.
We will respond with a confirmation or a suggestion that you
do another element in case your choice is already being done
by several other students. For example, gold,
helium, livermorium, helium, platinum and plutonium
are already each being done by several students and are no
longer available.
Need suggestions of other elements with cool stories? Ask us!
(A late registration might be accepted if we have space, but don't count on this!)
You will be expected to remain with
your poster from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 5 in
the Student Poster Session to discuss and explain your poster
with meeting attendees. Check in with the poster session
organizer at 1:30 and pick up a name tag. You do not need to
bring an easel; display boards will be furnished just as they
are at national ACS meetings.
Posters may be dropped off as early
as Thursday, October 3 at the ACS meeting information
booth of the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Santa Clara; they will be
held securely until Saturday.
In the meantime, your poster might be
displayed at meeting sessions for attendees to admire.
The information booth is located in room
Napa II located on the lobby level and is open Thursday from
7:30 a.m. -- 6:00 p.m., Friday 7:30 a.m. -- 7:00 p.m. and
Saturday 7:30 a.m. -- 6:00 p.m.
There is no cost for you to accompany your poster
on Saturday. However, if you want to attend technical sessions
from Thursday, October 3, through Saturday, October 5 (there
are no events on Sunday, October 6), you will have to register
at the student rate of $10, which will be valid for all
sessions.
