Posters & Pecha Kucha sessions

Poster sessions and selected Pecha Kucha presentations will also form an integrated part of the program to allow as many attendees as possible to participate in the formal symposium program. Innovative e-based systems will be implemented where possible to enable better communication and the engagement of the global community with the ISBR2025 program.

Finally, various social activities are planned to provide further network opportunities between the approximately 300 academic, government, non-government, industry and private attendees that are expected.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTER PRESENTERS

The Poster Sessions are an important part of the ISBR 2025 program.

This year, there were a RECORD NUMBER of abstracts submitted for either oral or poster presentations at ISBR 2025.

To accommodate over 40 posters, and allow sufficient time to view and engage at all of the posters, ISBR2025 will hold two poster sessions:  Monday Nov 3rd and Tuesday Nov 4th.

All posters will be put up in the exhibition area on Sunday, Nov 2nd (before or during the Opening Reception), and will remain up through Thursday Nov, 6th (morning tea break).

Poster presenters must stand next to poster during both two poster sessions.

Poster presenters may also elect to stand next to their posters during the tea breaks, when it is common for people to be walking through.
