The original building was a longtime home to many scientific and industrial groups such as
the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, local sections of the American Chemical Society, the Society of Chemical Industry, the American Electrochemical Society, the Verein Deutscher Chemiker, and le Société de Chimie Industriell, and was a popular meeting place for countless other societies. To reflect upon the rich history accumulated by the Chemists’ Club building and its inhabitants over the past decade, Dr. Edward Cook presented a montage of photographs and images of our first home.

This review was then juxtaposed against a forward-looking discussion of the state of current and future rechargeable battery technology, presented by Michael Lew of Needham & Company and by Robert L. Kanode of Valence.

The presentation given by Michael Lew and Robert Kanode can be downloaded and viewed here.
