ACTC BRIEF HISTORY

Held every three years since 1972, ACTC is widely atteded by chemists from both the United States and abroad. This is the first time ACTC will be held in Telluride. The meeting grew from the biennial Gordon Research Conference on Theoretical Chemistry, held from 1962-1970.

ACTC has a legacy going back more than half a century. Below we acknowledge the chairs of ACTC since its inception.
