The Federation of Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopy Societies (FACSS) has organized an international conference at the forefront of analytical chemistry and allied sciences since 1974. In 2011, this conference was renamed to the SciX Conference presented by FACSS with the tagline "The Great Scientific Exchange." The SciX conference continues to grow because it is highly valued by attendees for its technical program, world-class exhibits, and many career-building networking opportunities.
