  • The judges will look throughout the poster session depending on their timezones starting May 17 at 11:00 am EDT until May 19 at 11:00 am EDT. Please ensure that your poster is available for the entirety of the poster session. Please do not delete and repost your posters during this time period.
• What if we interact with participants/judges outside of Twitter? Would that count towards the judging?
  • Interactions with judges outside Twitter will not count towards the judging.
• Will we be giving poster “presentations”, or will our poster only be judged visually?
  • Interactions and conversations will take place via comment, likes and retweets on Twitter. There will be no traditional oral component to the poster presentation.
• How will I answer judges’ questions, as we may be in different time zones?
  • Feel free to answer questions in your own time; you do not need to respond immediately. Do ensure, however, that you try to address all questions before the conclusion of the poster session.

• What if I want to present a poster, but I forgot to include this information on the registration form?
