The first symposium on Macrocyclic compounds was held in Provo, Utah at Brigham Young University on 15-17 August 1977. Co-chaired by Reed M. Izatt and James J. Christensen.
The first International Symposium on Supramolecular Chemistry was held in 1980 in Warsaw, Poland. After that initial meeting, the symposium was held every other year and moved from one nation to another.
In 2006 the International Symposium on Macrocyclic Chemistry and the International Symposium on Supramolecular Chemistry combined for a joint meeting in Victoria, British Columbia. Members from both groups welcomed the chance to learn of science in the two areas at one meeting, which areas had increasingly grown together. After this initial trial, it was decided to join the two symposia into one yearly meeting.
