Program and Abstract Creation System (PACS) & Programming Resources

The online national meeting programming system of the American Chemical Society

PACS is the new online abstract submission system that will be replacing OASYS and will be used for the 239th National Meeting in San Francisco, CA. OASYS will still be available for the Washington, DC meeting.

PACS is used by ACS authors, program chairs, and symposium organizers to view, edit, and prepare abstracts within a single system for ACS meeting publications, including the following:

  • CD of abstracts
  • Web abstracts (Personal Scheduler)
  • Preliminary program
  • Technical program
  • Onsite program booklet

New features include single sign-on and the ability to view all your abstract submissions for the meeting using your ACS ID.
