Printed Posters + ePosters

At IMC 12, we are delighted to once again invite you to create a Printed Poster (to be displayed in the Poster Gallery on-site) and an ePoster (which will be available on the congress App and website).

Printed Posters will be displayed in the exhibition area during the Congress hours during breaks. Each poster will be displayed for a two-day shift, which will be divided into two groups: Odd Numbers and Even Numbers.

Poster presenters should refer to the Poster Help Desk in the Poster Area in order to locate their board number(s).

SHIFT 1 – 12-13 August:

Mounting: From Sunday, August 11, from 16:30-19:45.
Removal: By Tuesday, August 13, by 16:30.

SHIFT 2 – 14-15 August:

Mounting: From Tuesday, August 13, from 17:30-20:00.
Removal: By Thursday, August 15th, by 16:30.

Poster presenters are invited to be in the vicinity of their posters for informal discussions and to answer any questions.

Authors are encouraged to stand by their posters during the breaks for informal discussions or to answer questions.
