6th International Congress of the Flow Chemistry Society (Miami, FL, USA, November 2–3, 2016)

Introduction

The congress aims to unite and represent the widest breadth of scientists who are actively working on the rapidly developing field of continuous flow chemistry. The selected speakers include chemists and engineers, from both industrial and academic backgrounds at various stages of their careers. The Flow Chemistry Society is dedicated to the integration of Flow Chemistry into everyday practice, by delivering the latest knowledge and making it available for the entire chemistry community. The congress will provide excellent networking opportunities to meet the people behind the research and industrial applications. The organizer’s expectations are that the diversity of attendees and science will promote a unique and rewarding exchange of ideas.

Congress topics and theme

The Congress and associated Vendor Exhibition will cover fields such as chemical synthesis in flow which will include emerging techniques such as electro- and photochemistry, the development of multi-step synthesis, and applications in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The preparation of polymers for materials science and medicinal chemistry will also be presented. Finally, the impact of engineered devices and novel analytical techniques in flow will be a highlight of the congress.
