Call for Demonstration Posters

Spina Bifida Clinical Care Meeting attendees* are invited to submit abstracts for demonstration posters to showcase emerging ideas, service delivery models, and advocacy efforts related to Spina Bifida. 

Poster content: Demonstration posters should focus on novel techniques and/or technologies rather than on scientific data, and feature quality improvement efforts and outcomes,  innovation in care, or clinical processes. 

Abstract format: To ensure fair comparisons across submissions, abstracts should include:

  • Background/Objectives: Briefly introduce the issue and state the poster’s objectives. 
  • Description: Summarize the key information presented in the poster.
  • Significance: Explain why the information matters, noting any innovative aspects and potential future directions or quality‑improvement opportunities.
  • Resources: Include at least three relevant references.

Review:

  • The SBCCM Planning Committee will review and select poster abstracts based on innovation and potential impact on Spina Bifida clinical care.
  • Student/trainee status will not influence scoring.
  • *Authors of accepted posters must register/be registered for the SBCCM. They will qualify for early‑bird pricing regardless of the official early‑bird cutoff date.

Poster submission format:

  • Use ePoster format or a PowerPoint format. 

Poster dimensions:

  • Use large, readable fonts (readable at 4 ft distance). 
  • Use posters to fit boards that are 3.5 ft X 6 ft.
