What is SERMACS?
The Southeastern Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society (SERMACS) is an annual scientific conference. It brings together chemists of all stripes – students, academics, industry, government, etc – together across the Southeastern United States to share their knowledge and network.
As the world’s largest scientific society, ACS’ national meetings tend to be incredibly large, sometimes bringing in more than 25,000 attendees. Regional meetings like SERMACS seek to bring together scientists on a smaller, but still significant scale (5,000 or less). Regional meetings like this provide an opportunity for significantly more interpersonal engagement and effective collaboration on a much more individualized level.
What makes SERMACS 2025 special?
SERMACS 2025 will be the first time SERMACS has returned to Florida in nearly 30 years. The Orlando Local Section of ACS is organizing this meeting, and is excited to showcase the robust and exciting southeastern scientific community and the unique contributions Florida makes to the chemical enterprise!
Additionally, SERMACS 2025 will be a joint meeting, held concurrently with the Southwestern Regional Meeting of ACS. This meeting will feature scientists from all across the southern United States, from California to Florida! SERMACS 2025 will be larger than the average regional meeting as a result, providing even more opportunity for valuable engagement between sponsors and attendees.
When and where will SERMACS 2025 take place?
SERMACS 2025 will take place in Orlando, Florida from Sunday October 26 to Wednesday October 29, 2025, at the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando at SeaWorld. The address is 10100 International Drive, Orlando, FL 32821.
