I appreciate that information about meetings is a perfectly valid topic for this list. However I'm surprised that the Chemical Structure Association, in particular, is still relying on such local meetings. Should they not be leading the way ?? - and organising electronic WWW conferences ?? Computerised Chemical Structure tools have advanced enormously in recent years( many excellent examples are free to educational & individual users) and the subject is the legitimate concern of ALL levels of chemistry - Schools, Undergraduate and Postgraduate Universities and colleges etc as well as the traditional and wealthy Industry members. Many of these groups can afford neither the time nor the money for meetings costing �200 plus travel expenses. I would have thought the CSA could immediately widen its potential membership/interest by organising such international/wideranging/inexpensive and convenient electronic conferences. Accessing the Web is no big deal- a free beer or coffee at your local college or cyber-cafe would guarantee friendly help- and the ability to read guides, summaries,papers and listen-into or even enter-into discussion from many countries would be a true and great introduction to Chemistry Networking.
