The 76th Annual Meeting of the Israel Chemical Society and the Exhibition took place in February 9-10, 2011, at the David Intercontinental Hotel, Tel-Aviv, Israel. About 3000 participants from academia, the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, petrochemistry and food industry, biochemistry and biology, water experts, engineers, quality managers and metrologists from major laboratories and companies from Israel and from about 20 other countries, attended. About 60 leading companies of analytical equipment have also successfully participated in the conference and exhibition bridging between technology developments and end users. The scientific program consisted this year of 9 plenary lectures, 4 keynote lectures and more than 150 posters. Sessions delivered by international top scientists. Prestigious poster awards were granted by the Conference Organizing Committee to the outstanding posters in the general assembly of the Israel Chemical Society.The remarkable success of the conference was primarily due to the participants submitted their presentations, presented their equipment through one of the exhibition booths, or simply attended the conference. It was an excited, interesting and fruitful meeting.

THE VENUE The David Intercontinental Hotel was a superb location for the event. Its proximity to the beach and major business and cultural centers in Tel-Aviv enabled the participants to enjoy its surroundings. The organization was excellent, with a most efficient and kind staff that took care of hundreds of people at a time with no worry EXHIBITION The exhibition was the largest chemistry exhibition for 2011 in Israel.It included all the major companies and was most interesting. Its large space enabled social and scientific communication and the relaxed atmosphere allowed new ideas to interact as well as new contacts to be made. A glance into the exhibition

Special activities during the conference: Career fair February9-10 2011
Dr. Dionigio Franchi, Italy  9 February 2011 Acquaintance with the different elements that play a role in drug absorption: GI tract, physical-chemical properties of the API, in vitro biorelevant tools such as dissolution release testing as a pre-requisite for an effective drug delivery. A science-based discussion of the values of dissolution testing used in the drug-development continuum for the characterization of in vitro drug liberation from oral dosage forms.
Chiral Recognition and Separation Mechanisms Prof. Nelu Grinberg, USA  10 February 2011 The seminar will focus on specific interactions between the enantiomeric analytes and each specific chiral stationary phase, rather than the techniques used to separate enantiomers. This approach will allow the participants to understand the strategies for development of a separation of enantiomers, along with the conditions to achieve each type of interaction
