Enter the 2021 Trainee Poster Session and Competition
This year again, our annual conference will be held online. We have made many positive changes to the poster session (and to the conference) from what was done last year.
- You will be able to talk directly to your visitors during the poster session (up to 50 people at a time can show up to your poster!) giving you the feeling of an in-person event.
- The session schedule was adjusted according to last year’s comments.
- Your abstract will be published in a special edition of a scientific journal indexed/covered in PubMed ProQuest, Crossref, and EBSCOhost.com Research Databases.
- Awards we be attributed in many categories (with a formal judging panel) plus a people’s choice award.
