- Gallery Poster | May 14 – June 14, 2025, on the ePosterBoards website: Your poster will be displayed in the virtual gallery without an audio-visual presentation. Ideal for those who cannot attend in person or have multiple poster submissions. This is not a judged event.
This diverse set of activities makes the symposium a dynamic and engaging event, combining presentations, networking, and recognition of scholarly achievement.
