The purpose of the Open Poster Session is to further encourage information dissemination and discussion by sharing of: (a) preliminary research that will interest the participants but could not be submitted to the Conference earlier; (b) research that has been previously presented, but in a venue generally not attended by the Conference participants; or (c) research, education and/or commercialization initiatives and ideas that are valuable to the Conference participants but are not included in the formal program. Open posters that incorporate infomercial and/or advertising will be excluded. Open Posters are scrutinized for appropriateness based on the above listed criteria and will be reviewed by the Conference Co-Chairs.

For these Open Posters, we are seeking submission of the PDF version of the ACTUAL poster that you intend to display at the Conference. The dimension of the poster is 97 cm (38.19") x 121.5 cm (47.83").

Although the accepted Open Posters are not published in the technical digest, the final version of your submitted poster will be viewable via the conference app.
