Thank you for submitting a poster/elevator pitch for the 2025 EPIQ Conference. We're excited to continue the tradition of poster presentations and elevator pitches at this year's conference!

Poster Presentation Sessions:

  • Prepare your poster presentation based on an EPIQ activity focusing on extremely preterm babies, aligned with your site's work.
  • We have organized six themed poster presentation sessions this year: Lung Health, Brain Health, Gut Health, Hemodynamics, Infection, and Preterm Birth Network.
  • Note that we will NOT print posters this year; you are responsible for printing and bringing your poster to the conference. Ensure your posters are 48 inches by 36 inches in landscape orientation.
  • Designated poster boards will be assigned ahead of time. Mount your poster using provided materials. Please disassemble posters at the session's end or MiCare staff will remove them.
  • You must also submit an electronic copy (e-copy) of your poster using the below instructions for Large File Transfers.
  • Each poster session will begin with a 1-minute "Elevator pitch" by each poster team.

 

Elevator Pitch:

  • Elevator pitches offer a concise introduction to your project, captivating the audience within 1 minute. Pitches can be live or pre-recorded presentations, with pre-recorded pitches submitted via the Large File Transfer.
  • Unleash your creativity! Elevator pitches can take the form of a narrative, a group song, a solo or group performance, a poem, a short story, a video, an animation, a musical piece, or a presentation of 1 to 2 slides - the possibilities are endless!
  • Time management is key; remember, you have just 1 minute for your pitch!  

 

Should you require a poster template or have any questions, feel free to reach out to EPIQ coordinator Marissa Fazio at [email protected]. We look forward to your engaging presentations!
