New Dates For 2016 IFSCC Congress & Abstract Deadline

The US Society of Cosmetic Chemists has announced new dates for the 2016 IFSCC Congress in Orlando,
Florida. The 29th IFSCC Congress will now be held from 30 October-2 November 2016 (rather than 23-26 October). The organisers say the good news is that they can offer significantly reduced room rates at the world class resort!
