Call for Workshop Proposals All PAG attendees with paid registration are invited to submit poster abstracts. A poster abstract is a visual presentation where materials in addition to the abstract — such as genetic maps, physical maps, photographs, graphs, and/or tables — are presented on a display board along with textual summaries of the material. Over 1,100 poster abstracts will be presented at PAG, and for attendees this is a very valuable aspect of the conference.
All abstracts will be reviewed by the Abstract Coordinators. Accepted abstracts will be presented at the conference in the Exhibit Hall and will also be included in the Online Program. After the conference, the abstract will also be available online in the archives.

Physical Poster Specifications
The poster presentation space available is 3ft wide x 4ft high, or 36in w x 48 in h (91cm x 122 cm) Dimensions are for a vertical poster. It is important to note that there is an approximately 1 inch metal rim on the border, which reduces the poster board VISIBLE space to 34 inches wide by 46 inches high (86 cm x 117 cm).
Posters are displayed directly next to each other, so there is no room on the horizontal sides for overflow. Should you require more vertical space however, posters greater than 46 inches in height can hang a few inches beyond the edge of the presentation board on the bottom.
Late Abstract Submission Information
