For the 2026 Virtual Symposium, the deadline to submit a 10-minute presentation or poster is Friday, March 6, 2026.

The International Branch is offering grants for students and researchers who are experiencing financial hardship. The purpose of the grant is to allow recipients to present a virtual poster or pre-recorded oral presentation who otherwise would be unable to do so. To learn more and apply, click here. 

Each year during the Eastern Branch Meeting, students are offered the opportunity to present their research and win valuable prizes. There are two components to the competition - ten-minute oral presentations and poster presentations. 

When submitting presentations to the Student Competition, students become eligible to compete for prizes. Awards are given to the first and second place winners for each student competition session. For additional information, please select from the following:

The Eastern Branch is happy to provide discounted hotel rates at the The Saratoga Hilton Hotel.
