Poster Sessions
- Watch on demand the How to Make and Present a Poster for Neuroscience 2024 webinar.
Poster sessions at SfN's annual meeting allow for the casual exchange of key scientific breakthroughs and emerging innovations within the neuroscience field. Presenters must submit an abstract during the abstract submission period in order to be considered for participation in a poster session at the annual meeting.
All Neuroscience 2025 poster presenters will have the opportunity to upload a virtual poster PDF and/or present their poster in person in San Diego.
Poster Session
Poster presenters will be assigned to:
- A 6 foot (1.8 meter) by 4 foot (1.2 meter) poster board to be used for presentation
- A one-hour presentation time during their 4-hour session.
Posters are placed on display for the entirety of the assigned 4-hour poster session. Within each session, poster presenters are given a specific, one-hour presentation time when they are expected to be present at their poster. Presenters may stay longer, but are required to be present during their assigned presentation time.
Late-Breaking Poster Sessions
Late-breaking abstracts will be presented in a late-breaking poster section adjacent to the main poster floor. Late-breaking posters should follow the same guidelines as regular poster sessions.
Theme K Posters Session
Theme K (History, Education, and Society) abstracts are presented in a Theme K poster session that takes place Saturday–Sunday during the annual meeting. Theme K posters are displayed beginning at 1 p.m. on Saturday and remain posted until 5 p.m. on Sunday. One-hour presentation times occur either Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.
