Virtual Poster Presenter Guidelines

What to Expect During the Virtual Poster Slam:

The Virtual Poster Slam provides a unique opportunity to present your poster to the entire virtual audience. The Virtual Poster Slam will kick off the 105th Annual Meeting. The Virtual Poster Slam will take place via Zoom and presenters will present via screen share. Posters may be in the form of a PDF or PowerPoint.  More information on presenting in Zoom can be found in the Training Slides for Presenters and Moderators.

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 Poster Slam, please practice and time yourself.
