ABSTRACT SUBMISSION & MEETING REGISTRATION
The scientific theme of MARM 2023 is Chemistry Refocused.  This conference will offer a rich technical program encompassing the chemistry of flavors and fragrances, cosmetics, life sciences, materials science and the environment.  Technical talks are combined with two poster sessions with an on-site lunch included.  For the poster session we welcome submissions from all areas of chemistry.  This diverse technical program is augmented with a Graduate Student Fair, a Resume Review Workshop, a Women's Chemists Committee Workshop on Promotion to Full Professor, a Social Media Social, Exposition and the ticketed 50/60/70-year member luncheon.  The day is capped off with an ACS Governance Social, an evening poster session and the ticketed Awards Reception and Dinner.  The Saturday program at St. John's Univeristy offers the Regional Chemagination Contest, High School Teacher Outreach Programming and the MARM Board Meeting.

Due to overwhelming response, registration for MARM 2023 was closed in mid-May, a capacity crowd of 393 attendees enjoyed MARM 2023.
