We are privileged to have the ACS President-Elect, Dr. Tom Lane, kickoff this poster session and sponsor exposition.

After Dr. Lane's address, the poster session and sponsor exposition will open. Refreshments, including an cash bar, will be available to attendees as they mingle between each poster and table. Our goal is to provide an open environment to share the most recent advancements in research as well as the latest cutting edge inovations.

In March, multiple poster titles and abstracts were submitted. The following abstracts have been registered with the Transitioning into Green Chemistry symposium.
