Call for Interdisciplinary Poster Session

Back to the conference main page

The BCSP invites conference attendees to submit poster abstracts for our interdisciplinary poster sessions. Selected applicants will be able to display a 48″x36″ poster at the conference, which includes at least one dedicated poster session. You must have a conference ticket in order to be eligible to participate in the poster session.

The abstract submission link will be provided while registering for the conference. You must submit your poster abstract by August 1, 2026 to be considered. Please note that this date is earlier than the conference registration deadline.
