Poster Competition

RULES:

Corporate Poster

Scientific posters may be submitted by a company through the regular on-line mechanism. However, if the poster is only reporting about the capabilities of a product (e.g., instrument, ancillary device, kit, reagent, software) and does not have a main scientific focus, it can only be considered in the Corporate Poster category, for which there is a fee and a designated presentation location in the poster hall.

2.Select the presentation format.
3.Choose the submission topic.
4.Provide author(s), affiliation(s), and presenting author. Submit the abstract body, and check the boxes for competition participation or corporate poster if applicable.
