WIPOS 2022

We are delighted to announce that the 2nd Winter In-Person Organic Symposium (WIPOS 2022) will take place over four days on December 19-22, 2022.

There will be 43 speakers and also a continuous poster session associated with this symposium. A day and a half will be dedicated to lectures from 19 young investigators (i.e. ≤10 years from starting their independent careers, including 11 pre-tenure faculty members). The remaining 2.5 days will feature a combined 24 speakers from both academia and industry.

WIPOS 2022 will be held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort in Honolulu, Hawaii. The symposium attendance will be limited to a total of 150 participants.


Registration Fees

Pharmaceutical/Biotech Industry/Government Labs $1,500/person
(includes daily breakfast & lunch)
Academia (Faculty & Postdocs) $1,000/person
(includes daily breakfast & lunch)
Undergraduate & Graduate Students $500/person

Please encourage your co-workers, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers, to register for WIPOS 2022 and give poster presentations of their significant achievements!

The registration fees include a daily continental breakfast (7:30-8:30 AM) and buffet lunch (12:45-2:00 PM) as well as coffee and tea service throughout each day of the symposium, a combined $515/person cost that offsets the registration fee quite substantially.


Plenary Speaker

Sir David W. C. MacMillian

We are delighted to announce Sir David MacMillan as the plenary speaker at WIPOS 2022. Sir David is currently the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University and shared the 2021 Nobel Prize in Chemistry “for the development of asymmetric organocatalysis.”

Poster Presentations

Posters will be displayed throughout the conference, and breakfast, lunch, and coffee breaks will be ideal opportunities to discuss chemistry with the attendees. We recommend a poster size of 4’x3′. Poster prize winners will be announced on the last day of the conference.
