Over 330 abstracts were submitted online this year!

The Abstract Committee has determined the qualified abstracts to be presented during the Abstract Poster Sessions.  Email notifications of acceptance were sent on July 7th. All accepted abstracts will be published in the September edition of the Journal of Neurotrauma, which will be distributed to delegates at the conference.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS

(Open Communications Sessions)

Each abstract selected for oral presentation will be allotted 10 minutes for their presentation.

Be sure to prepare your presentation in PowerPoint format for PC (not Mac) and save your presentation using your last name as the title. Please label your disk or CD with your name and presentation time.  Submit your presentations on disk to the NNS Registration Desk upon check in at the conference. It is a good idea to check with the Registration Desk on the morning of your presentation to make sure that everything is in order. Please be sure to arrive at the Sunset Ballroom at least 15 minutes prior to your presentation in order to coordinate with the A/V technician.


This years' abstracts selected for Oral Presentation are:

POSTER PRESENTATIONS:

All accepted posters will be displayed in the Paradise Ballroom. Please be sure to set up and remove your posters during the times indicated on the Scientific Program. Posters left remaining after the session removal period will be discarded. NNS is not responsible for lost or discarded posters.

Posters must be no larger than 4'0”h x 6'0”w (120cm height x 180cm width) and should be brought in person by the submitting author(s) or a colleague who is attending the conference. Posters sent via mail will not be displayed. Ideally a poster should be self-explanatory, clear and specific, and should present the material logically and legibly.

Please include the poster number, title of the abstract and the names of the presenting authors in the upper left hand corner of your poster. For your convenience, push pins (3/8” shaft) will be provided for your use in displaying your poster, however please DO NOT mount or laminate your poster, as you may experience difficulty in attaching it to the display board. If you will be rolling up your poster for travel, we recommend you reverse roll it upon your arrival to avoid the tendency it may have to curl.

Posters #1-168 will be displayed during Poster Session I

Posters #169-337 will be displayed during Poster Session II

TOP STUDENT ABSTRACTS will be displayed for the entire meeting.

Please make sure you are stationed at your poster at the

scheduled session time to present your abstract! 


STUDENT POSTER COMPETITION


The Abstract Committee reviews and assigns a grade to each abstract submitted. The sixteen (16) top scoring student abstracts will be featured during both Poster Sessions I & II at the symposium. These top abstracts will receive a final judging onsite at the conference, the scores will be tabulated, and the winners of the competition will be announced at the Awards Ceremony.

This years' Top 16 Student Abstract Finalists are:
