Bonding Conference

The Bonding Conference is an event hosted by the Chemists' Club each year in New York City. The Bonding Conference includes a reception, presentation by industry experts, and a student poster session. The presentation is a great opportunity for professionals to hear industry experts discuss the theme of that year.The poster session includes a showcase of poster presentations from student scholars at New York University (Washington Square), New York University (Tandon School of Engineering), Columbia University, Cooper Union, Manhattan College, and City College of New York, presenting their personal and professional interests. The student with the most intriguing poster is selected and awarded at the end of the event.

The Bonding Conference began in 2017 as a one-time event with the topic on sustainability. After the success of the first event, it was held again in 2018 and 2019. It was disrupted by COVID-19, but now has resumed in 2024. Past themes for the Bonding Conference have been Sustainability, Diversity and Inclusion, and Digital Innovation and have featured speakers from a multitude of industries such as chemical manufacturing, consulting, consumer products, and much more. At BondCon, professionals network with one another, meet students, and hear from leaders in the industry.

The 2024 Bonding Conference will host an impressive panel on the important topic, "Advancing Intersectional Inclusion Within the Scientific Community." It will follow the same format as before (noted above) and will be held in the evening of October 22, 2024 at the historic Liederkranz Club in New York City. Thank you to this year's sponsors Dow and Mike's Amazing.
