Call For Posters Reminder
| |
The deadline for Poster Abstract submission is May 24, 2013. The Poster Session will be held on Monday evening September 9, 2013 between 6:00-8:00 PM. The event will feature sponsored food and drink stations offering attendees an opportunity to network while viewing the illustrated work of States and their partners. Following the event, posters will remain accessible to all attendees for the duration of the conference.
The Poster Session provides state attendees a way to graphically present a project that might not lend itself to a session or panel discussion. Presenters participate in engaging their colleagues from across the country in an active discussion about their project.
This year's goal is for all states in attendance to showcase their great work. As an incentive to participate, the Conference will provide reimbursement for each participating state for one attendee to include: conference registration fee, hotel accommodation and travel expenses.
