As part of the competition, students are asked to participate in a "Poster Slam"—a one-minute/one-slide oral preview of their poster at the end of the plenary session on Monday—just prior to the poster session/reception.
The winner of the student poster session will receive a cash award, and will present a ten-minute talk about their work during the awards talks on Tuesday morning. (See the winners here: 2011 User Meeting Award Recipients).
The poster sessions will be on the ALS Patio on Monday, October 3, following the conclusion of the plenary sessions. The poster board size is 4 ft wide by 4 ft tall (1.2 m square); push pins will be provided.
