C&EN (http://pubs.acs.org/cen), the ACS' flagship publication, to present an

opportunity rich event for the chemical industry. The virtual career fair

will utilize an online platform that will host an exhibition floor with

booths for recruiters and companies looking to engage candidates, an

auditorium to view career themed webcasts and a networking lounge where the

chemical industry can connect.


    Each day of the two day event will focus on a career related theme. The

first day will center on "Outlook for Chemical, Pharma and Biotech

Industries" while the second day will focus more generally on "Career

Development." The career fair will begin at 9:00am EST on both mornings with

a keynote session, followed by four additional webinars throughout the day.

Continuously from 9:00am through 6:00pm the event show floor will be open for

candidates to visit with recruiters and corporate human resources

representatives, and the networking lounge will be open all day for informal

chats as well as scheduled topic discussions. UBM Studios (

solutions, will provide the virtual interface for the event.


    Jennifer Jessup, Informex/UBM Global Brand Director, commented, "Informex

has a strong history in both the fine and specialty chemical markets and

through our combined efforts with the American Chemical Society the virtual

career fair will connect a huge array of corporate chemical industries and a

large pool of recruiters and job seekers. With the struggles all job seekers

are facing in a slowly recovering economy, we decided this virtual career

fair would be the best way for us to host both educational and networking

opportunities."


    Additionally, during the first week in November, C&EN will be publishing

its annual Employment Outlook edition of the publication. The content of this

edition of the leading scientific publication serving the chemical, life

sciences, and laboratory world will closely tie in with the 'ACS Careers'

and in scheduled chat session in the networking lounge. On the first morning

of the event, the keynote webinar will discuss C&EN's finding on employment

trends and developments in the chemical, pharma and biotech industries.

Career Fairs, which will take place in Boston, MA on August 22-26, 2010 and

Anaheim, CA on March 27-31, 2011, we are able to provide employment
