On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are honored to invite you to the 18th International Conference on Cutting-Edge Organic Chemistry in Asia (ICCEOCA-18). This prestigious event will take place from November 26 to 30, 2025 in Sanya, Hainan, China, held by Hainan Institute of East China Normal University.

ICCEOCA-18 continues the distinguished tradition of annual conferences organized by the Asian Cutting-Edge Organic Chemistry Promotion Network (ACP). Since its inception in 2006 with ICCEOCA-1 in Okinawa, Japan, this conference series has become one of Asia's premier gatherings in organic chemistry. Building on last year's successful meeting in Taiwan, China, we are excited to advance this momentum.

This year's conference will convene approximately 150 researchers from Hong Kong (China), Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan (China), Thailand, Singapore, and beyond. We welcome participation from both academia and industry–whether presenting posters or attending as delegates–to collectively advance cutting-edge organic chemistry.

ICCEOCA-18 will serve as a premier forum to:

· Showcase the latest advances in organic chemistry research

· Facilitate unparalleled networking with Asia's leading chemists

· Feature distinguished invited lectures, poster presentations with oral summaries, and social activities highlighting Sanya's unique attractions

We extend our deepest gratitude to all committee members and international coordinators for their dedication. Special recognition goes to our host institution, the Hainan Institute of East China Normal University, and our local sponsors for their invaluable support.

As ICCEOCA approaches its twentieth anniversary, we invite you to reflect on the remarkable progress in organic chemistry fostered by this conference series. Your participation is vital to sustaining this legacy and shaping our field's future.

We eagerly anticipate welcoming you to ICCEOCA-18 and thank you in advance for contributing to this inspiring convergence of scientific minds. Together, let us expand the frontiers of organic chemistry and pioneer new pathways for innovation and discovery.

Sincerely,

Ran Hong
