Philadelphia Meeting Highlights: The Meeting of the Century – ECS Celebrates the Centennial

It was a challenge for the century — to pack 100 years worth of celebrating into just six days — but the Society’s Centennial meeting did it, and provided a host of new memories for the Society’s next history book. The meeting included three plenary lectures, a record number of technical sessions, talks by two Nobel Laureates, a surprise visit by none other than Dr. Benjamin Franklin, visiting representatives of 21 “sister” societies from around the world, and a pull-out-the-stops closing celebration party for over 800 people.
