Welcome
Join our Exciting Events where Technology, Business and Investments Meet

Chemical Marketing & Economics Group

CM&E is a topical group of the American Chemical Society’s New York Section. ACS, founded in Manhattan in 1876, is the largest scientific society in the world with over 160,000 members.

CM&E organizes monthly luncheons and webcasts in midtown New York City where industry leaders present original research and cutting-edge outlooks on business, economy, and technology in energy, materials and life science.

CM&E was established in 1954 by an ACS NY steering committee that included Vick Chemical Company (acquired by P&G), Allied Chemical and Dye (Honeywell), Celanese Corporation, The Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter (ICIS), and American Cyanamid (BASF, Pfizer and Cytec). The inaugural speaker was the president of Carbide and Carbon Chemicals Company (Dow Chemical).

From the Chair: Thank You for a Fivefold Growth

Thank you for helping us increase membership fivefold, double attendance, quintuple sponsorships and triple the email list in the last two years. CM&E today is a preeminent New York group focused on the technology, investment and business of chemistry.

CM&E has crafted another exciting program. From the global outlook to transformational industry events to deal flow in M&A to pioneering green chemistry to first-ever events on Latin America, we bring a cadre of thought leaders to share their perspectives.

As 2011The International Year of Chemistry ends, 2012 will be the backdrop for CM&E's celebration of its 58th Anniversary and the United Nations International Year of Sustainable Energy for All.

Please come to our luncheons or join the webcasts and watch them at your convenience. Meet our Board of Directors and tell us about topics, speakers and how to serve you better.

We look forward to seeing you soon. Happy Holidays!

Calling All Members: Rekindle Science Education

The USA ranked 27th among the world's 29 wealthiest countries in the proportion of science and engineering college graduates. Of the $300 Billion in annual donations, 13% goes into education and a minor part of that goes into science. CEOs cannot find enough science and engineering graduates in USA. How can we turn this around? See Science Education and learn how ACS helps science at the local, national and global level.
