Southeastern Neurodegenerative Disease Conference (SEND)

The 1st Annual Southeastern Neurodegenerative Disease Conference (SEND) aims to stimulate collaborations among scientists in Florida, Georgia and Alabama who work on Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, frontotemporal dementias and Huntington’s disease. It will also provide substantial opportunities for trainees to have both oral and poster presentations, with the goal of cross-recruitment across participating institutions.

Poster guidelines

We request that posters be printed 3×4 feet vertically. If you are reusing a poster from another conference that has a different dimension, we may be able to accommodate you. Please let us know if your poster needs more room by Sept. 15 at sendcon2018@gmail.com.

Oral Presentation Guidelines

PowerPoint presentations will utilize the on-site PC and should be in 16:9. We will not be switching computers or using Macs. Oral presentations that are 20 minutes should be structured at 15 minutes of presentation, allowing for 5 minutes of questions. Ten-minute presentations should be structured at eight minutes of presentation with two minutes for questions. Data Blitz talks should be three static slides with no questions at the end. Data Blitz talks will be arranged such that their accompanying poster will be in the next poster session.
