18th International Congress on Quantum Chemistry

May 31st to June 5th, 2026
Berkeley, California, USA

Satellite Meetings

In addition to ICQC 2026, a three satellite meetings will be taking place that may be of interest. Registration for satellite meetings will be handled separately from ICQC 2026 registration.

| The Current State of the Art in Machine Learning for the Chemical Sciences
(June 5th - June 6th)

The Machine Learning for the Chemical Sciences symposium begins on Friday morning as the last session of the ICQC conference, and continues through Friday afternoon and all day Saturday. We have an excellent lineup of speakers that are leaders in ML/AI methodology that are advancing the field to represent the stoichiometry of molecules, to learn Schrodinger’s equation for energies and forces, to advance Newton’s equation of motion on ground and excited state energy surfaces, and to describe phases, interfaces, and functional properties of chemistry and materials. A small registration fee of $75 for graduate students and postdocs and $120 for all senior scientists will support coffee breaks and lunch on Saturday, and a conference dinner on Saturday evening.

| Registration

Registration for the meeting will open soon. Registration includes coffee breaks on both meeting days, as well as a lunch and conference dinner on June 6th.
