What to Expect During the Virtual Poster Slam:

The Virtual Poster Slam provides a unique opportunity to present your poster to the entire annual meeting audience. The Virtual Poster Slam will kick off the 106th Annual Meeting and will take place via Zoom before the onsite portion of the meeting on Tuesday, 20 January 2026 at 1:00 PM CT. Presenters will present their posters via screen share. Posters may be in the form of a PDF or PowerPoint.  To maximize accessibility for your viewers, use large images and font sizes (no less than 18-pt) to accommodate smaller device screens.

During the Virtual Poster Slam, presenters will be allowed THREE MINUTES to present their posters. The presentations will be presented in chronological order. Prior to the Virtual Poster Slam, please practice and time yourself. Make sure you are within the three-minute time limit. It is essential that we limit the presentations to three minutes in order to accommodate all participants.
