e-Posters / lightning talks

Posters at the 8th International Barcode of Life Conference are presented digitally online, and on eight standalone kiosks at the conference venue. If your abstract has been accepted also for a lightning talk, you have a 3-minute oral presentation in addition to your e-Poster.

All corresponding/submitting authors of abstracts accepted for ePosters and lightning talks have received an e-mail with information on how to submit your ePoster. You can also access this information here: ePoster submission.

Poster submission deadline is June 6, 2019, 23:59 (CEST, Trondheim).

Please use the below guidelines when creating your poster and/or lightning presentation.
