TRACK 6:
INTERACTIVE POSTER SESSION - "Posters & Pizza Lunch"

Technical sessions are being planned for these tracks, and abstracts will be considered on the session topic listed below. Abstracts are rated by the technical committee members and are selected into the sessions by the session chairs appointed by the technical committee. Authors should identify their preferred session (topical area) when submitting their abstracts. Abstracts should highlight the major contributions of the work in one or more of these areas. All abstracts submitted must represent original, previously unpublished work.

If your abstract is selected, you will be asked to follow the speaker timeline: - Speaker Acceptance/Rejection (June 1, 2021); - First Paper to Peer Review (June 30, 2021); - Peer Review feedback to authors (July 26, 2021); - Final/corrected Papers (August 30, 2021); - Speaker must register before (September 10, 2021); - BIO due (September 17, 2021); Speaker Breakfast (morning of your session); and - Slides/Presentation ready (on/before October 8, 2021).

IMAPS is consulting government agencies, event partners, and our stakeholders regarding the Covid-19 virus ahead of IMAPS 2021 San Diego. We will keep attendees informed of any effects to the event. IMAPS remains committed to delivering the best Symposium this Fall and anticipates a robust, healthy event for all of our attendees, speakers, and exhibitors. We are exploring all options for alternative conference plans including virtual presentation options and other online tools in the event that the in-person components of the Symposium are deemed unsafe or not possible and will be prepared to offer all in-person, virtual and/or blended meeting options for all.
