Dear Colleague:

Q-Chem Inc. would like to invite you to a workshop on Saturday, March 26,
preceding the national ACS meeting in Anaheim and highlighting the release
of the Q-Chem 4.0 software package. Q-Chem 4.0 contains significant new
functionality, including:

* TD-DFT gradient for excited-state structure optimization;
* IRC searches for mapping complicated potential energy surfaces;
* Range-separated and dispersion-corrected DFT functionals;
* Faster algorithms for DFT, HF and coupled-cluster calculations;
* More choices for excited-state, solvation and charge-transfer
calculations;
* Effective Fragment Potential and QM/MM for treating large systems;
* Maximum Overlap Method for excited-state calculations of large systems;
* Intracules for analysis of two-electron properties;
* Shared-memory for multicore systems and implementations for GPUs; as well
as many other areas.

The workshop will consist of seminars and hands-on tutorials. Seminar
speakers include Martin Head-Gordon (Berkeley), Peter Gill (ANU), Anna
Krylov (USC), John Herbert (Ohio State), Paul Ha-Yeon Cheong (Oregon State)
and myself. Tutorials will be run by Yihan Shao and Zhengting Gan from
Q-Chem, Inc.

The meeting takes place from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Doubletree Guest
Suites Anaheim Resort/Convention Center (2085 S. Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim,
CA 92802). The registration fee is $50 and covers continental breakfast,
lunch, coffee and soft drinks.

Please register by February 28 on our website
(http://www.q-chem.com/wslal_hh.html) and bring your laptop (Windows
7/Vista/XP or Mac) for the tutorials. The software and tutorial materials
will be available for downloading on the website after March 12.

All workshop participants will receive a free six-month license for
unlimited use of Q-Chem 4.0.

I apologize if you receive multiple copies of this announcement.

Happy New Year,

Jing Kong, PhD
CEO and Chief Scientist
