Poster Sessions
Poster sessions are presentations displayed in a poster format rather than delivered as a lecture. Authors use posters to highlight key information, findings, and outcomes, creating opportunities for discussion and idea sharing. Attendees can review the posters, ask questions and engage directly with authors during designated presentation times.
Poster Session Schedule
Poster sessions are on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with each day focused on a specific set of topics. Posters are displayed for the full day of each conference and available for viewing in the FNCE® app. Poster presenters will be available during their designated time each day, presenting their posters to small groups or having one-on-one conversations.
