Inorganic and materials chemistry students and faculty get together each September at the Allerton Park and Retreat Center to celebrate the beginning of the fall semester. The event combines a program of student lectures and poster sessions highlighting research progress with a series of social events promoting interaction between different research groups and introducing new students to the inorganic and materials chemistry community. Undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty involved in inorganic and materials chemistry from across the campus are invited to participate. The conference concludes with a formal banquet, but participants may choose to stay well into the evening for games and socializing.

The following from the inaugural IMCAC2023, held September 16, 2023, best tell the story:
