How Do I Accept My Invitation to Present a Poster?  

Yes, please follow the steps in the email you (the submitter) received. This way we know how many poster boards to have in the room. If you are unsure if your poster has been accepted, please email: ahshq@talley.com.  

Are Presenting Authors Required to Register for the Meeting?  

Someone (author or other representative) must register if you plan to present/defend your poster at the meeting. All abstract submitters will receive instructions with acceptance notices and information on meeting registration. 

What if I Can’t Be There in Person?  

We understand that not everybody can join us in Minneapolis. You can still have one of your colleagues hang your physical poster. However, you will not be able to answer live questions from the attendees.  

Is There a Discount for Poster Authors?  

Presenting authors can take advantage of a discounted registration rate until May 14. Please access the Poster Collection Portal, sent in your acceptance email, and look for the “Registration” task.  

How Do I Book My Hotel Room?  

After you register, you will receive a link to book a hotel room in your registration confirmation email. The hotel cut-off is Wednesday, May 22 or until the block sells out, whichever comes first.
