The 2025 Anachem Symposium will be held on Thursday, November 6, 2025 at our new location, The Vistatech Center at Schoolcraft College in Livonia, MI. A plenary lecture will be given by the 2025 recipient of the Anachem Award, Dr. Mary T. Rodgers, Professor of Chemistry at Wayne State University. An award session with invited speakers will be presented in his honor. This year’s symposium will also include four oral sessions devoted to research at the academic institutions in our region. Additionally, our academia colleagues will be holding an interactive oral session focusing on AI in the chemistry classroom. The sessions are described in more detail below. An instrument exhibit, two educational workshops led by Agilent Technologies , and a poster session are also important parts of this annual symposium on chemical analysis. A preliminary outline of the Symposium and more details are included below. Register online in advance for a discounted rate. For more information, contact program@Anachem.org.

Graduate students, principle investigators, undergraduate students, and other academic researchers are encouraged to participate in one of four Academic Research oral sessions. When arranging sessions, preference will be given to graduate students and principle investigators. There is a $100 cash award for the best graduate student presentation in each oral session. A proposed title and abstract must be submitted online for consideration by Friday, Sept. 26, 2025. Abstract submitters are invited to indicate their preferred session on the online abstract submission form. Session organizers will consider these preferences but may not be able to accommodate all submitters. For more information, contact program@Anachem.org.
The 2025 Anachem Education Session will focus on artificial intelligence and machine learning in a variety of education applications. The first portion of the session will include unique academic perspectives from faculty who have included A.I./M.L. in their courses, programs, or student development work. The second portion of the session will include an interactive workshop focused on integrating A.I./M.L. into sophomore and junior-level chemistry courses. Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop or tablet to follow along with the workshop. A proposed title and abstract must be submitted online for consideration by Friday, Sept. 26, 2025.
All Symposium attendees, including graduate and undergraduate students, are invited to participate in the poster session. There is a $100 cash award for the best graduate student poster presentation and another $100 cash award for the best undergraduate student poster presentation. Whether you are student or an established chemist, please plan to share your research with us. A proposed title and abstract must be submitted online for consideration by Friday, Sept. 26, 2025. For more information, contact program@Anachem.org.
Exhibitors, we value your participation! The exhibit of instrumentation and chemical analysis aids is an essential part of the Anachem Symposium. Please reserve exhibit space online or contact our Exhibits Director, Michael Iglehart, for more information (vendorregistration@Anachem.org).
