ABOUT SWRM

The American Chemical Society (ACS) Southwest Regional Meeting (SWRM) for 2023 is planned for Wednesday, Nov. 15-18, 2023 at the new Omni Oklahoma City Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City (OKC). The Oklahoma Section is the host local section for SWRM 2023.

Chemistry Energized reflects the energy associated with the anticipation of meeting with colleagues face-to-face, the emphasis on exciting recent advances in chemistry-related fields, and the energy focus of the southwest ACS region. We anticipate that this meeting will be a special partnership between both Local Sections and Technical Divisions with many co-sponsored and co-organized special symposia. More traditional offerings such as high school and undergraduate programs, awards, poster sessions, exposition, keynote speakers, workshops, social programs (including brewpubs visits) and an awards banquet will also be held.

Named one of the 50 Best Places to Travel in 2020 by Travel + Leisure, Oklahoma City offers all of the culture, cuisine, attractions, and amenities you’d expect in a modern metropolis. And with its rugged Western past, working stockyards and title as “Horse Show Capital of the World,” OKC is rich in cowboy culture, as well. From family fun, to romantic retreats, to outdoor adventures you won’t find anywhere else, Oklahoma City has plenty of hustle without all the hassle.
