Student Poster Competition
IBBC 2017 is asking students to submit an abstract for the Student Poster Session and Competition. This is a great opportunity for students to gain valuable industry input on their work, plus a chance to win some cash. Students must submit their poster abstract by March 24, 2017, to be considered.
Students will also be part of the IBBC 2017 Rapid Fire Showcase where presenters get five minutes to present five slides summarizing the research that they are working on. Conference attendees interested in subjects presented during the rapid-fire oral session can then visit the accompanying poster and have a more in-depth discussion during the student poster session and competition. This format offers greater exposure to presenters, as well as gives attendees a snapshot into the wide variety of research being conducted in the biorefinery arena.
