2009 Call for Platform and Poster Chairpersons and Category List

Each year, with assistance from the SOT Specialty Sections and Special Interest Groups, we recruit and select the excellent sessions included in the scientific program for our Annual Meeting. 

As you know, we have begun accepting abstract submissions for platform and poster presentations. At this time we would like to send a special call to our membership to identify chairpersons for these exciting sessions. 

Listed below are the categories in which authors can submit their abstracts. During the Scientific Program Committee’s review, these broad session topics are broken down into sub-topics related to these categories.  Please consider volunteering to serve as a chairperson for an SOT poster or platform session. As per SOT policy, there will be two chairpersons per session. Each chairperson must be an SOT member, and the Co-Chair can be a non-member. 

Please visit the 2009 SOT Annual Meeting Web site to review the Session Chairperson Guidelines. You may also contact Nichelle Sankey at SOT Headquarters for more information.  In your e-mail, please note which categories are of interest to you.

Also, remember to share your important research findings by submitting an abstract. The deadline to submit an abstract is October 3, 2008 at 11:59 PM (Eastern Daylight Time).

Category List

The categories listed below are used by the Scientific Program Committee to group abstracts focusing on similar subjects as well as for session programming.
