Prizes for Student Presentations

Students may opt to have their oral or poster presentation evaluated for a chance to win a prize. If you are a current student, or were a student at any time during 2024, look for the sign-up option when you're submitting your abstract.

Members of the Scientific Steering and Local Organizing Committees will evaluate presentations of all students who opt to have their work considered. To guide students in preparing a high-quality presentation, we suggest studying the prize evaluation rubric and our guide for presenters.

All students who opt in will receive a copy of their evaluation by the end of the conference, whether or not they have won a prize. This is a great way for novice presenters to get valuable feedback!
