Virtual presentation of ePosters will be available!

The Annual Meeting of the ISDP includes oral and poster sessions for individual, free-standing research presentations which benefit both the presenters and audience from high levels of interaction and discussion. We encourage lively debate and discussion during these interactive oral and poster sessions.
 
Abstracts submitted for presentation at the ISDP annual meeting are reviewed by the Program Committee after the submission deadline. Poster presenters can upload their digital ePosters through the speaker/abstract module (optional) for additional exposure to attendees. There will not be a virtual option for presentation or registration at ISDP 2024.
    • Digital ePosters are automatically tied to the original abstract record
    • Once scheduled, the ePoster will display in our online program and in a digital poster gallery organized automatically by topic, ID, title, speaker and organization.
    • Discussion boards are embedded for Q&A and ongoing discussions
    • ePosters will be available for all registered attendees (in-person & virtual attendees) and all poster abstracts will be included in the abstract publication in Developmental Psychobiology. We encourage participants to use the networking features to invite meeting attendees to visit your ePosters, as well as Twitter (highly encouraged) #isdp2024.

Testimonials from past ISDP Annual Meeting Participants:

  • The choice of talks and presenters was great. The collaborative atmosphere of the conference was excellent.”
  • “Ability to connect with top researchers in the field due to the small, intimate nature. Stepping out of my wheelhouse to listen to presentations not typically thought of as being related to my research.”
  • “The variety of presentations from a diverse group of presenters (graduate students, post-docs, PIs, basic and clinical) made for a really excellent conference.”
  • “I like the fact that the speakers included both very early career scientists and leaders in the field. I also really liked that there was a good representation of different methods (fMRI, behavioral observation, rodent models, etc) and approaches.”
