Call For Posters Reminder

Have You Submitted Your Poster Abstract?  The Deadline For Final 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.  Following the event, posters will remain accessible to all attendees for the duration of the conference.

 

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. 

 

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 (conference registration fee, hotel accommodation and travel expenses) for one attendee in each participating state to present at the MESC 2013 Poster Session. The presenting attendee must be a state employee (contractors/vendors are excluded) to claim the reimbursement.
