SEVEN-MINUTE MICROTALKS ARE A NEW OPTION FOR BMES ANNUAL MEETING PRESENTERS

The 2020 BMES Annual Meeting will pilot microtalks for 3 sessions at this year's event in San Diego, October 14-17.

Microtalks will be 7 minutes long and each session will feature about 8 talks. If you are interested in doing a micro talk, please select that option when submitting an abstract for the meeting. Researchers who express interest in doing a microtalk will be offered the option of presenting one instead of a poster. 

After all abstracts are submitted, the meeting chairs will work with track chairs to select microtalks. The microtalks will occur in a theater in the exhibitor hall on Thursday or Friday of the meeting.
