UW–Madison's Memorial Union will hold many evenings including conference registration, exhibits, and afternoon poster sessions. It will also be the conference's evening activity hub—where attendees can enjoy food at beverage every evening, browse posters and exhibits, and participate in community conversations,, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and other information social evenings. Memorial Union also has a variety of food options including Strada Italian Cuisine, Carte Soups & Salads, the Daily Scoop Ice Cream, Badger Market, Peet’s Coffee, and Der Rathskeller German-Style Tavern. It is also home to Wheelhouse Studios, Wisconsin Hoofers, and various art exhibits.

One of the most cherished parts of the Memorial Union is the Terrace. The Terrace functions as a great place to enjoy a beautiful day, grab a beer with friends or colleagues, sunbathe or swim off the pier, and catch one of Madison’s stunning sunsets. When the Terrace was first envisioned in the fall of 1928, it was thought to serve as a fun meeting place, a sort of “undergraduate playground.” Today, its mission and purpose of being an enjoyable gathering spot for students, parents and alumni continues to improve. After the reopening in early 2016, the Terrace expanded seating, extended grilling, increased shoreline and lakefront views, and added additional food options.

The UW–Madison Chemistry Building will host many of the conference’s sessions and workshops. Located just steps from the Memorial Union, the building features modern lecture halls, flexible classrooms, and well-equipped teaching laboratories designed to support both presentations and interactive learning. Attendees will benefit from comfortable, technology-enabled spaces that foster discussion, collaboration, and hands-on engagement. As a central hub for chemistry education and research on campus, it offers a welcoming and functional environment for connecting with colleagues and exploring new ideas.
