Poster Sessions for the 2017 Boston Meeting
Posters are exhibited for informal browsing with opportunities for individual discussion with poster authors. The AAG will host all themed poster sessions in the Exhibit Hall. Posters will be displayed during dedicated viewing times (marked in bold below).
Please note that the AAG will add your poster to the session which most closely aligns to your poster’s theme, however if you have a strong preference you may indicate which poster session you would like to participate in in the "Special Requests" field of the abstract submission console.
