American Chemical Society National Meetings
The Cannabis Chemistry Subdivision under the Division of Chemical Health and Safety holds technical symposia at each bi-annual ACS National Meeting. CANN’s technical symposia provide a platform for scientists to present and discuss current research in the cannabis space. Following these technical sessions, CANN organizes networking events that create a casual environment to expand networks and foster lasting relationships with other industry and research professionals.
ElSohly Award
The Cannabis Chemistry Subdivision of the American Chemical Society has established the first ever cannabis chemistry award known as the ElSohly Award, sponsored by Heidolph North America.

Susan Audino, PhD presenting “Bringing Clarity to Under-Appreciated Numbers”
This session will detangle the constructs of analytical method validation and method verification, provide a simple mindset for determining method uncertainty, and demonstrate risks of assuming that R2 >0.99 represents a “good” calibration curve.
Prof. Robert Strongin
In this talk, Prof. Strongin will dive into the chemistry of cannabis vaping
Linda Klumpers, PhD presenting “Cannabis Antagonists: Disgraceful Downfall, Promising Prospects”
‘Wonder Pills’ against obesity and substance abuse abruptly disappeared from the market over a decade ago, researchers now try to revive them for new applications.
