Unfortunately by the time that the CSA knew of this, it was not possible to change the venue of either of the sessions. An example of this was that the joint Symposium included morning and afternoon sessions, held in completely different parts of the Moscone Center – the morning session being held in Moscone North and the afternoon session in Moscone South. The Symposium was expertly organised and chaired by Bryan Vickery of ChemWeb, but in spite of his efforts, there were some serious problems, mainly of an administrative nature, that were beyond the control of the CSA. This report, written by Liz Rawlings, first appeared in The Alchemist on ChemWeb in April.
