Poster Sessions
Interested in sharing your research at the Innovations Symposium? Digital posters will be displayed during interactive sessions. Poster presenters must be at their poster monitor during their session. Abstracts will be made available to all Symposium attendees through an online portal. Guidelines for creating a digital poster will be shared with those whose abstracts are accepted. Learn more about submitting an abstract below.
Travel Awards
To encourage students and postdocs to attend the Symposium, the Foundation offers Travel Awards to those who present their research at the event. Please note: trainees of Rainin Foundation funded projects do not need to apply for a Travel Award as your Principal Investigator should have funding in their budget for you to attend.
Travel Awards cover the conference registration fee, three nights lodging at The Ritz-Carlton Oʻahu at Turtle Bay, economy airfare and ground transportation. The Foundation will make hotel arrangements for Travel Award recipients. Please hold off on registering for the Symposium until after you have been notified that your application for a Travel Award was approved.
