A lunch will be provided to those preregistered who have indicated they will attend lunch. Major Midland Section awards will be presented after lunch, including awards honoring members who have been ACS for 50 years or more. Professor Manoj K.

A poster session will provide participants with an overview of research being conducted not only by Midland Section industry and academia, but other institutions as well. There will also be a vendor exposition throughout the afternoon. The poster session will be followed by three symposia running simultaneously that will reflect the theme of the meeting.
