Bring your poster to the Exhibition Floor at or after 10:00 a.m. on the day of your presentation.
In-person presenters should upload their poster to the virtual platform one-page PDF of their poster, along with an optional five-minute video explaining the information. Virtual attendees will view your poster online and leave questions for you to answer. This is a great way to expand the audience viewing your research.
New: All posters uploaded by Monday, April 1, 2024, will be viewable on ePoster Kiosks at the convention center. This expands the visibility of posters past the scheduled session.
