Synthetic Pathways presents

The 15th Symposium on the Latest Trends in Organic Synthesis

August 8–12, 2012

Brock University
Niagara Region
St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada

ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

The very first Symposium on the Latest Trends in Organic Synthesis was held May 28-31, 1984, in Blacksburg, Virginia. Organized by Tomas Hudlicky (Virginia Tech), George Majetich (University of Georgia), and Dennis Liotta (Emory University), it was conceived as a forum for enhancing the visibility of synthetic organic chemists from the southern United States. The original format was designed to provide a balanced mix of industrial chemists, established and early-career academic chemists.  The inaugural symposium was a marathon event featuring 33 speakers.  It was a resounding success, and the symposium has convened every two years since.  In the intervening years, it has evolved into a major internationally recognized symposium, on par with the 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, which has proven to be an ideal venue. The upcoming 15th Symposium will be the fourth held here.  The conference remains an exciting event, bringing together from around the world some of the most interesting and accomplished chemists in academia and industry.
