Poster Submission Page

Congratulations on the acceptance of your poster(s) at the 2020 Virtual ASCIP meeting. We are looking forward to your participation! The Virtual meeting has been scheduled over 4 days to allow for maximum flexibility and attendance. The dates of the conference are September 12, 13, 21, and 22.

Your notification email contained a template to use to create your poster presentation(s). ASCIP is pleased to inform you that all posters will be posted conference website for the duration of the conference.

As a result of this year’s virtual format, ASCIP will post an optional one-minute audio recording with your poster presentation. The one-minute audio recording should be a brief “elevator pitch” highlighting your abstract. Additional instructions on how to submit a recording are referenced below. In addition, the Academy Research Committee (ARC) will review all posters for their respective eligible awards. Award posters will be recognized within the conference platform. Please note that only the content of the poster will be reviewed by the Academy Research Committee. The optional audio recording will not be evaluated by ARC, thus will not impact the poster judging process.

The ASCIP Poster Award Categories are:

  • ASCIP Best Empirical Research Poster Award
  • ASCIP Best Clinical Practice Poster Award
  • ASCIP Diversity Poster Award
  • The Adcock Award: Best Clinical Practice
  • APS Best Trainee/Resident/Fellow Poster
  • PSWC Best Trainee Poster
  • SCIN Best Trainee Poster
  • TLC Best Trainee Poster

Poster Preparation and Submission:  You will need to submit your poster as a PDF file (created in PowerPoint one single slide using the provided template). Posters may be accompanied by an optional one-minute recording. The recording will be posted with the PDF for other conference attendees to review.

The poster submission deadline is August 16, 2020. Late posters will not be accepted!

Additional Tips

  • The aim of the poster is to display your work in a concise form, enabling conference attendees to grasp the essentials of the subject in a reasonable time frame.
  • Brevity and clarity are the essence of a good poster. Relevant images can be added to illustrate where appropriate, please ensure that any graphics used are high definition images.
  • High quality images or illustrations are valuable methods for conveying information. It is important to ensure correct placement of the images relative to the text to enable smooth reading of the poster.
  • Presenters should use scientific or generic names in referring to products. Should it be necessary to use a trade name, then the appropriate format is generic (trade). All product names must be in a consistent format. Poster must be non-promotional in nature.
  • In all cases, patient anonymity must be protected in accordance with the HIPAA Privacy Laws.
