| The ACS is a National (or even international) organization so its meetings have worldwide significance. The ACS holds two National Meetings each year and planning starts more than 10 years before the meeting. |
| The National Meeting is the place where most of the ACS Divisions deliver their programming. The meeting is five days of symposia, exhibitions, tutorials, and poster sessions that cover every area of chemistry, chemical engineering and related sciences. Short courses with renowned instructors, workshops, divisional and committee meetings and other related sessions also occur at national meetings. The ACS Council and the many ACS Committees meet at the National Meeting. |

| The Bench To Pilot Plant Symposium was held several times in North Jersey and then at National. Les was involving both the local and national event. The symposium was a great success with a capacity crowd on a Thursday afternoon! The main focus of the National meeting is cutting edge Technical presentations such as "Bench". |
| The National Meeting is a venue for social and networking events for many scientific groups. The RSC holds a reception at every National ACS meeting |
