| Pittsburgh is served by the Pittsburgh
International Airport, which offers direct flights to
most major locations in the USA and Canada, as well as
direct flights to several locations in Europe. The conference site at Station Square (about 15 miles from the Airport) may be reached by direct limousine service from the airport operating hourly, by limousine service to downtown Pittsburgh operating more frequently, coupled with a short taxi ride to Station Square, or by taxi from the airport. Routes to Station Square: |
| From Airport: | Follow airport signs to Pittsburgh. Exit the Parkway at EXIT 7B, West End By-Pass, to arrive on Carson Street. Station Square will be on the left after a short distance. |
| From I-79: | Follow the signs to Pittsburgh Exit Eastbound, and then follow the preceding directions. |
| From I-376 Westbound: | Follow the signs to Pittsburgh via Exit 6, Monroeville, to I-376 Westbound. Exit at Grant Street, immediate left at traffic signal, one block to left on Smithfield Bridge to Station Square. |
| Please
note the deadline of 26 September for guaranteed
reservations at the Group Rate A block of rooms has been reserved at a special rate. This rate is still under negotiation, but is expected to be about $125 per night for our participants at the Sheraton Station Square Hotel, as n. Contact the hotel directly to make your reservation. The cutoff date for reservations at this rate is September 26, 2003. (At this writing, it is not yet known if the Sunday, October 19 date coincides with a Pittsburgh Steeler football home game.

| A substantial exposition
of modern laboratory equipment will also be included at
this meeting. Located in the newly refurbished Grand
Station Ballroom of the Sheraton Station Square Hotel,
the ACS Central Regional meeting exposition will feature
exhibitors from local scientific supply houses as well as
exhibitors from across the USA. A comprehensive sampling
of state-of-the-art instrumentation and accessories
applied to chemistry laboratories - analytical,
biosciences, organic, physical, and clinical will be
available. Because a major objective of regional ACS Meetings is to serve ACS members who are not able to travel to larger, national chemistry meetings, we will endeavor to provide an exposition that is a discrete, representative sample of the larger annual expositions such as The Pittsburgh Conference and National ACS Meetings. The Exposition will be open Monday and Tuesday, October 20-21, 2003, Monday, 10:00am - 5:00pm, and Tuesday, 9:00am to 5:00pm.
For a schematic map of the Exposition Space, click here. Refreshment Breaks Monday and
Tuesday 9:45 to
11:00 am
Exhibitor Information Space will be available for Exhibitors in the rooms used for daily refreshments and the Poster Session. The Hotel's Shipping and receiving department will accept packages 2 days prior to the start of the event. The sender should send directly to the hotel, their name, company name and the name of the conference needs to be on the packing slips. Exhibit space is still
available at $ 750. per 8' x 10' booth, and will be
available right up until Show Time.
