The 2016 Inorganic Chemistry GRC, which will bring together a group of scientists from academic, industrial, and national laboratories, will cover a broad range of topics, giving attendees a look at areas both inside and outside of their specialized areas of interest. This conference will also provide a forum for the discussion of emerging themes, ideas and opportunities in the discipline. In keeping with the Gordon Conference guidelines, each oral and poster presentation will focus on unpublished, cutting-edge results. Overall, the program will demonstrate how the inorganic community is integrating core discoveries with applications to address future societal and technological needs. The program will feature a diverse group of speakers and discussion leaders at various career stages. 

In addition to invited speakers, the poster sessions at GRCs are a key feature of the conference. All conferees at the Inorganic Chemistry GRC are invited to present a poster on their work, and here the informal setting promotes the free exchange of ideas and fosters new relationships. As in previous years, we will offer poster presenters the opportunity to compete for one of several program spots in which they can give an oral presentation based on the subject matter of their poster. This is an excellent opportunity for exposure, especially for those early in their career. Anyone interested in participating in the poster competition should bring an electronic slide presentation and a small hard copy of their poster to submit to the committee.
