    Poster Awards: If you are a post-doctoral scholar, you may elect to have your poster entered in the John A. Milner poster competition. Only applicants who will be in a post-doctoral position at the time of the AICR conference are eligible for the competition. You must indicate during the poster abstract submission process that you would like your poster to be considered. Posters will be judged during the poster sessions at the conference and the winners announced during the closing plenary session.

    Poster Sessions:
    There will be two poster sessions:
    Session I: Monday, October 31 from 6:00pm – 8:00 pm
    Session II: Tuesday, November 1 from 6:00pm – 8:00 pm.
    Please note: poster presenters may not choose which poster session they will be assigned to.

    AICR will assign presenters to their session based on topic. To help us assign your poster to the best session, please select the most appropriate topic category.

    AICR 2022 is a hybrid event and the opportunity to present posters virtually will be available. Virtual posters will be presented through the Virtual Conference Hub. Each virtual presenter will be assigned a virtual booth where conference attendees can attend and interact with the presenter. We recommend that poster presenters record a short video (two minutes maximum) as an overview of the research presented.
