    In-Person Poster Uploading instructions

    You may upload your optional Eposter and PDF poster presentation files to the Puerto Rico online meeting platform. Eposter uploading is open through May 30. PDF poster uploading is open through June 12. 
    Please make sure you still bring your physical poster to the Annual Meeting -- poster uploading is for an online record only.

    Benefits of Online Poster Uploading:

    • Those who were unable to view your poster at the meeting are now able to view it in a manner that protects your ownership.
    • Your poster will become a permanent part of the Summer Conference records and will be archived.

    How to Upload Your Poster:

    1. If you did not receive your customized upload link via email, you may log into the Speakers Corner with your abstract ID number and password.
      (Your abstract ID number and password can be found by logging into the Confex Gateway.)
       
    2. Select helpful uploading module instructions along the left side of the Speakers Corner to produce and upload your poster presentation files.
