Celebrations and prizes galore in Anaheim

Journal celebrations, product demos and workshops, plus lots of daily prizes given away at booth 903 – it was a hectic few days in the Exposition Hall at the ACS Spring 2011 National Meeting in Anaheim last week.

Monday saw the announcement of the latest new journal to join our portfolio: RSC Advances and Managing Editor Sarah Ruthven and other staff on RSC Publishing booth 903 were on hand to talk to the many interested researchers.

The reception to celebrate Catalysis Science & Technology on Tuesday saw guests toasting the successful launch of the journal as they chatted to prominent researchers in the field.

ChemSpider demonstrations and workshops proved popular, and our bookshop on the booth attracted great interest.

Every day saw queues of eager visitors wanting to win a prize, favourite being the exclusive RSC Publishing t-shirt.

Our photographer was on hand to record the events – do you recognise anyone in the photos below?
