5^th Annual European Users' Meeting

Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc., (ACD/Labs) is excited to announce that our 5^th Annual European Users' Meeting will take place on Tuesday, October 19^th and Wednesday, October 20^th. Our meeting will entail presentations and discussions on the latest capabilities of our software, and its applications within the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

View the Agenda, or read below for a general overview of the meeting.

The Users' Meeting will give us the opportunity to:

• Present our solution at the enterprise level to cover analytical chemistry needs, allowing us to:
  • Design workflows and create an enterprise level analytical and sample management system
  • Access analytical results stored on enterprise systems via a standard web browser
  • Automate processes such as spectral data collection, macro processing, and database population and synchronization
  • Look up and predict chemical and spectral information via an intranet (allowing assisted chemical structure verification)
  • Embed chemical drawing and spectral processing capabilities into your custom built applications
  • Add 2D barcoding (ACD/Labs patented technology) to your custom applications
• Cover the latest advancements in our analytical chemical solution and chemical naming product
• Dialog with our customers during break-out sessions about our offerings to meet their actual and future needs
• Describe the ACD/Labs enhancements which improve large deployment and easy licensing at an enterprise level

In conjunction with our annual meeting, we will be hosting a PhysChem Symposium on Thursday, October 21^st. This one day symposium will feature contributed talks and panel discussions on vital questions at the forefront of drug discovery research, including:

1. A mechanistic understanding of the permeability of charged ionic forms
2. The relationship between chemical structure and solubility
3. Techniques for improving solubility within a chemical series
4. Advances in pharmaceutical profiling
5. Revisiting the definition of drug-likeness

Bernard Faller (Novartis Institute for Biomedical Research), Mike Abraham (University College London), and Klara Valko (GlaxoSmithKline) are a few of the leaders in academic and industrial research who will be presenting during the symposium. View a tentative agenda for the PhysChem symposium.

Our traditional dinner at La Cloche will be held on Tuesday evening. On Wednesday evening, we will be organising a social event within the Alsace region.
