Poster Sessions

Last year we received a lot of positive feedback about the poster sessions and would like to encourage you to consider participating with a poster session of your own. This flexible format allows for more direct Q&A and is great for networking.

Pre- and Post-Conference Workshops

If you have something you’d like to share in a more in-depth session, consider holding a pre- or post-conference workshop.

We look forward to hearing from you!
