Hard to believe we're already halfway through the year, but there are still some exciting events ahead, and 2019 is already starting to take shape.

2018
August 19-23: The 256th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society, which will be held in Boston, includes a session on "Best practices in fragment-based drug design" on August 20.

September 25-28: CHI's Discovery on Target will also be held in Boston, and there will be lots of presentations of interest to readers of this blog, particularly in the Lead Generation Strategies track. Mary Harner and I will be presenting a FBDD short course over dinner on September 27.

October 7-10: Finally, FBLD 2018 returns to San Diego, where it was born a decade ago. This will mark the seventh in an illustrious series of conferences organized by scientists for scientists. You can read impressions of FBLD 2016FBLD 2014,  FBLD 2012FBLD 2010, and FBLD 2009.

2019
March 20-22: Although not exclusively fragment-focused, the Sixth NovAliX Conference on Biophysics in Drug Discovery will have lots of relevant talks, and will be held in lovely Nice. You can read my impressions of the 2018 event here, last year's Strasbourg event here, and Teddy's impressions of the 2013 event herehere, and here.

April 8-12: CHI’s Fourteenth Annual Fragment-Based Drug Discovery, the longest-running fragment event, will be held in San Diego. You can read impressions of the 2018 meeting here, last year's meeting here, the 2016 meeting here; the 2015 meeting herehere, and here; the 2014 meeting here and here; the 2013 meeting here and here; the 2012 meeting here; the 2011 meeting here; and 2010 here.
