POSTER PRESENTER INFORMATION
Online Poster Gallery
We are excited to be working in the flipped space! Posters, abstracts, audio file, and your photograph will be featured on the conference website prior to the conference. This will allow all participants to browse posters prior to the Poster Reception and attend with specific questions in mind. The website will be available for all participants to view one week prior to the conference. Even though you won't need to bring a print copy of your poster, there are a few things you'll need to prepare.

Poster Reception
What do I do with my poster when I get to the conference?
Remember, you will not have a physical poster with you. Poster sessions will display your poster via a projector in the gallery. However, you are more than welcome to bring a laptop with your poster on it as a supplement to your discussion.
What will happen during the Poster Reception?
You will be assigned a time to discuss your work while your poster is projected. Conference participants are encouraged to view the online poster gallery in advance so they can come with specific questions during your assigned session. ​
​
