  1. 3 minute Lightning Talk only,

  3. 3-minute Lightning Talk with supporting poster

Be sure to select only one of these options when submitting.

Lightning Talks

Lightning Talks are strictly-timed 3 minute presentations intended to further expand the ICER community and spark discussion among conference participants. The intent is for these talks to provide a venue in support of new ideas and newcomers to our community. Lightning Talks are a great way to get early feedback on a work in progress, to demo a new tool or technique, and to find potential collaborators at other institutions.

NEW Lightning Talk presenters may elect to present a poster in conjunction with their lightning talk to provide additional information to curious parties and help foster post-lightning talk discussion.

NOTE: Work already being presented at ICER (ie., accepted research papers, doctoral consortium submissions) is ineligible for the lightning talks session.

NEW Posters

Posters are a new way for ICER attendees to present early results, gain feedback from conference attendees, find collaborators on a topic, and/or spark discussion among conference participants. The intent is for these posters is similar to lightning talks in that they provide a venue in support of new ideas and newcomers to our community.

NOTE: Work already being presented at ICER (ie., accepted research papers, doctoral consortium submissions) is ineligible for the posters session.
