Exhibit

This year exhibition opportunity is free to our partners. If you would like to exhibit please contact regener8@leeds.ac.uk. Please note that exhibitors will need to also register their attendance.

We have a limited amount of exhibition spaces which will be allocated on a first-come, first served basis.

Call for Posters

Poster submissions are invited from researchers, developers and innovators from the Regener8 and wider regenerative medicine community.

Posters should reflect the core aim of Regener8, which is to support the translation of university and industry-based research and development in regenerative medicine into commercial products and clinical benefits.

Poster displays offer a more informal setting in which to learn about a wide variety of research, translational and clinical projects. They provide an excellent opportunity for delegates to showcase their own work and receive further recognition.

Guidelines:

  • Poster abstracts of no more than 200 words should be submitted by email to regener8@leeds.ac.uk
  • Images to accompany abstracts should be supplied separately i.e. not embedded within the abstract document.
  • The deadline for submissions is 20th June 2016
  • The acceptance of a poster submission assumes you are able to attend the conference and have registered.  As this event is free to attend, any non-attendances will be raised with supervisors.
  • Posters should be no larger than A1 size. The display boards will be covered in nylon loop material and you will need to bring your own Velcro tabs to attach your display materials to the boards.
  • Poster presenters will be responsible for putting up and removing their posters. Presenters should make themselves available during the conference break times for networking and providing additional detail for poster viewers.
