Collaboration Poster
This submission type was encouraged for authors seeking collaborators to work on future or ongoing research. Collaboration posters were displayed in a special area, the Collaboration Corner, and offered the opportunity to network with others to further research and gain feedback. Collaboration poster authors were allowed to provide as much detail as possible and write “Not applicable” where necessary for the objective, methods, results, and conclusions.
Information for Poster Presenters
All presenters were required to
register for the conference, at least for the day of their assigned session. Presenters who were unable to attend on their assigned day had the option for a co-author to present in their place and were required to contact
ISPD Headquarters to make this substitution.
