Press Registration

Starting in January, journalists may apply for press credentials for ACS Spring 2022, one of the largest scientific conferences of the year. The meeting is a hybrid meeting being held virtually and in-person March 20-24 with on-demand access available March 21-April 8. The meeting features more than 12,000 presentations on a wide range of science topics.

ACS Spring 2022 will be a vaccination-required and mask-recommended event for all attendees, exhibitors, vendors, and ACS staff who plan to participate in-person in San Diego, CA. For detailed information about the requirement and all ACS safety measures, please visit the ACS website.

ACS considers requests for press credentials and complimentary registration to national meetings from reporters (staff and freelance) and public information officers at government, nonprofit and educational institutions. Marketing and public relations professionals, lobbyists and scientists do not qualify as press and must register via the main meeting registration page. Journal managing editors, book commissioning editors, acquisitions editors, publishers, and those who do not produce news for a publication or institution also do not qualify.
