ACA '93 in Albuquerque, New Mexico
The 1993 ACA meeting will be held at the Albuquerque Convention Center, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, May 23-28. The Call for Papers was distributed in mid-Nov. 1992. The abstract deadline is Jan. 25, 1993. A Molecular Graphics Workshop will be held jointly with the Molecular Graphics Society on Saturday, May 22 and Sunday, May 23 (V. Cody, A. Olson, and M. Rossi, organizers). "Time-of-Flight Diffraction at Pulsed Neutron Sources", organized by J. Jorgenson and A. Schultz, will be the ACA Transactions Symposium. Other sessions currently planned are:
Bucky Balls | D.Cox |
Neutron Scattering in Materials Research | F. J. Rotella and J. W. Richardson |
Molecular Recognition and Inclusion | J. Atwood |
Computational Chemistry and Drug Design | D. Rohrer and D. Eggleston |
Lanthanides and Actinides in Transition: Catalytic and Biological Perspectives | J. Krause and S. Sommerer |
The Mobility of Molecules in Crystals | B. Craven and R. Bryan |

There will also be special events for the Young Scientist SIG and a computer program show-and-tell session. Awards to be given at this meeting include the Patterson Award, the Pauling Award and the Etter Travel Award. The convention facilities are very good and will be extremely useful for dealing with the concurrent sessions. We plan to have the vendors' booths, a lounge area and the posters in the exhibition hall. The large space available will allow us to provide more time for the display of posters.
