Prepare a visual summary of the work described in your abstract. This will be mounted on a poster board for the duration of the conference. Our poster session is Thursday,  November 14th, from 12:30-2:00 pm. An author of the poster is expected to attend the poster session to present and share their work with conference attendees. These will be informal discussions. The poster can be organized as preferred, but we suggest using the headings of Introduction, Methods, Results and Conclusions, although other formats are acceptable.

It is necessary to have a statement regarding any conflicts of interest, and important to include references. If poster authors wish to provide any handouts to conference attendees, these must be brought to the conference by the authors as we are unable to provide printing services.

We recommend you build your poster to fit 4ft x 4ft. Poster board size will be approximately 6ft long x 4ft high. Pushpins will be provided to mount your poster.

Authors can set up their posters starting Thursday morning at 8:00am EST. Room assignment TBD.

Posters for projects led by trainees will be considered for the Best Poster by a Trainee Award. Judging will take place during the poster session.

A digital poster is a short, on demand presentation about your work. Please prepare a maximum 5-minute presentation with no more than 12 slides. The first slide must include the title of your presentation, all co-authors, and affiliations. In compliance with Continuing Medical Education accreditation requirements, authors must include a conflict-of-interest disclosure on the second slide of their presentation.
