The American Chemical Society's Division of Chemical Education has sponsored the Biennial Conference on Chemical Education (BCCE) since 1972. The precursor of the biennial conferences was an International Conference on Education in Chemistry held at Snowmass-at-Aspen, Colorado, in 1970. This international event is the largest gathering of chemistry educators in the world which brings together over 1000 teachers committed to inspiring tomorrow's leaders in the sciences. At this five-day event, middle school science teachers, high school chemistry teachers, undergraduate and graduate students, and professors will connect with colleagues at all levels through technical and poster sessions, workshops, plenary lectures and a vendor exhibition.

The BCCE strives to facilitate the exchange of ideas among all those interested in chemical education, to coordinate and implement innovative curriculum reform measures that enhance student achievement, improve student-instructor interaction, and elevate the quality of instruction in our science programs.

We would be honored to welcome you as a partner in this important event.
