ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM
The very first Symposium on the Latest Trends in Organic Synthesis was held May 28-31, 1984, in Blacksburg, Virginia. It was organized by Tomas Hudlicky (Virginia Tech), George Majetich (University of Georgia), and Dennis Liotta (Emory University) as a forum for enhanced visibility of synthetic organic chemists from the South. The original format was designed to provide a balanced mix of industrial chemists, established academic chemists, and assistant professors. The inaugural symposium was a marathon event featuring 33 speakers. It was a resounding success, and the symposium has convened every two years since. Over time the conference has evolved into a major internationally recognized symposium, on par with Gordon Research Conferences.
In 1996, the Symposium moved to Gainesville, Florida, and in 2004 moved again to the present location in the Niagara Region of Ontario. The upcoming Symposium will be the fourth held here. Although the venues have changed and there are now fewer speakers at each meeting, the conference remains an exciting event, bringing together some of the most interesting chemists in academia and industry from around the world.
