Having different in-depth topics from year to year provides Symposium participants with insight into the foremost topics and special issues within theory and computation in quantum chemistry, condensed matter biophysics. Unlike general professional meetings, the fact that Sanibel is a meeting about the theory and computation means that the Symposium continues to provide a novel and fertile scientific environment. The Symposium also is organized to provide ready access to research experts for graduate and undergraduate researchers, for example, via the unique advertising format of the poster sessions.

The social events will consist of a dessert reception on Thursday (9:00 PM in the Delegal Room) and a dinner on Saturday (7:00 PM in the Lanier Ballroom). Tickets will be required for both events and will be received upon signup.

Dessert reception includes two (2) tickets for wine or soft drinks, with a cash bar available for those who wish additional refreshments.
