ISPAC 2024
35th International Symposium on Polymer Analysis and Characterization
June 9 - 12, 2024
Memphis, Tennessee, USA
In 2024, the ISPAC meeting returns to the United States. As we gathered in Japan for ISPAC 2019, little did anyone suspect the world would soon be forced to collectively press the “Pause” button due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We remained in this “stasis field” until 2022, when ISPAC Italy welcomed both in-person and on-line attendants in a hybrid format. 2023 saw ISPAC come to the African continent for the first, but hopefully not last, time, with a wonderful, fully in-person meeting held in Stellenbosch, South Africa. Now, after a six-year absence from North America, the ISPAC meeting returns to the United States. In June 2024, we gather in Memphis, Tennessee to share our discoveries and our queries, and to celebrate that crucial link between the synthesis, processing and end-use of macromolecules and polymeric materials which is the analysis and characterization thereof. We look forward to welcoming you in Memphis, the largest city bordering the Mississippi River, where the Memphis International Airport can provide a gateway to a bustling music scene, world-class cuisine, a variety of sports events, and a veritable plethora of museums and points of interest, including Graceland, the private residence of the (supposedly) late Elvis Presley. “Thank you, thank you very much!”
