Our popular POSTER SCAVENGER HUNT is back!

Delegates will follow clues to find specific posters, meet the presenters, and go in the draw to win fun prizes. It’s a great way to spark meaningful discussions around your research.

Enter Here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1mK_XuDoN-RgfkYv9Stmz0zW8gapaSNUWh5zrTrSTo8g/viewform?edit_requested=true

  • Chat with the poster presenters and find the answers to the prompts
  • Win prizes

Entries close at the end of Thursday Morning Tea session. A SECOND POSTER SESSION during Thursday morning tea (10:30am–11:30am) is another fantastic chance to connect with poster presenters and answer all the prompts before you miss your chance to win the exciting prizes.

This year, poster presenters will wear WHITE LANYARDS making it easy for delegates to spot and connect with you. All other delegates will wear navy lanyards.
