Professor Jeffery Davis of the University of Maryland led the organization of Calix 2007-The 9th International Conference on Calixarene Chemistry. This International Conference, attended by over 150 scientists from 21 nations, was held August 6-9, 2007 at the University of Maryland's Inn and Conference Center. Many world leaders in Supramolecular Chemistry participated in Calix 2007. The plenary speakers included Jerry Atwood (USA), Volker Böhmer (Germany), Makoto Fujita (Japan), Bruce Gibb (USA), Kimoon Kim (Korea), Olivia Reinaud (France), David Reinhoudt (Netherlands), Thomas Schrader (Germany) and Fraser Stoddart (USA). In addition there were also over 25 invited talks and more than 100 posters at the Calix 2007 Conference

In conjuction with the Calix 2007 conference, Professor Lyle Isaacs of the University of Maryland hosted an NSF workshop on Cucurbituril Chemistry on Aug. 4-5. This workshop, with 75 participants from around the world, was the first ever meeting organized to discuss the expanding field of CB chemistry.

The Calix 2007 conference and CB workshop were so successful that the two meetings will be combined again in 2009 in Seoul, Korea.
