The AOCS Annual Meeting & Expo is still open for poster submissions. The deadline for submissions is February 15.

With our interactive and easy to use online system attendees can listen to your recorded description while they explore your poster. Share your results and innovations with researchers from around the world. Submit your abstract today.

How will my poster be displayed?

(if you are intrigued to learn more about Julian's work check out his webinar below)

As your recording is playing your attendees will be able to move around your poster. They can zoom into areas of interest to study your results in detail – just like they would at an ‘in person’ poster event. 

Your poster will be available for attendees throughout the meeting – from May 3 – May 14.  On-demand access will be then be available to all attendees through June 30, 2021. And AOCS members receive extended access to posters and oral presentations through April 2022.

My abstract was accepted. Do you have any suggestions on how to create my poster?

Congratulations! We have created a ePoster template which you could use as a starting point for your poster. You do not need to use this template, or PowerPoint. Once you have completed the poster – using which ever program/tools you select - you should save it as a single page, one side only, pdf file.
