The poster sessions are a time to showcase the collective expertise of the practitioners and researchers who gather each year to share knowledge and advance the field of clinical nutrition. As an attendee, you will have the opportunity to meet the authors of the posters, learn more about their research, and have the chance to ask follow-up questions in real-time. The posters will be divided by topic areas, listed below.
To enhance the poster session experience this year, we will be having poster professors during the Sunday poster session. We recommend attending this poster session if you would like to be guided by an ASPEN Poster Professor. The poster professor will guide attendees through the posters and engage with the poster presenters by having group discussions about the research being presented. There will be poster professors for each topic area, and you do not need to sign up in advance to take advantage of this opportunity; it is included in the conference registration.
If you do not prefer to be guided by a poster professor, you will have the option to self-guide through the poster sessions on Sunday and Monday.
