North American Catalysis Society 26th Meeting (NAM26)

On behalf of the Chicago Catalysis Club, we invite you to attend the 26th meeting of the North American Catalysis Society, NAM26, held in the great city of Chicago in 2019! A Letter of Invitation can be downloaded here.

This meeting marks 50 years since the first NAM in 1969 in Philadelphia. In these past 50 years, the North American Meeting has become the preeminent biennial meeting of catalysis science and technology. Throughout this meeting, we will be looking back at the evolution of the study of catalysis over the past fifty years, but also looking forward to the next fifty. Although some of the tools have changed, and the discipline has become larger and more global, many of the same fundamental questions remain, rooted as they are in the basic desire to design, control, and understand catalyst structure – and therefore function – from a single atom to a reactor, and from a single elementary step to years time on stream. As has been true for 50 years, this meeting will feature talks from leading researchers and practitioners from around the world, bustling poster sessions to cross-fertilize ideas, and plenty of opportunities to catch up with colleagues new and old.

Sincerely,
