Conferences and Meetings

AIChE conferences are one of the best ways to meet colleagues from anywhere in the world while learning developments in biological engineering, fuels and petrochemicals, nanotechnology, nuclear, sustainability, separations, safety and chemical processing, and more. We offer six AIChE-sponsored and over 30 co-sponsored conferences, plus these two main conferences:

• The Spring National Meeting  brings together over 2,000 practicing engineers and academics from across the industry to explore nine or more topics in depth. The focus is on the latest R&D, keeping practitioners and educators up to the minute.
  
• The Annual Meeting  in the fall offers attendees 13 topical conferences and over 575 sessions, covering everything from advances in fundamentals, to the newest developments in emerging technologies. More than 4,000 engineers and scientists typically attend.
