Contributed Sessions

Contributed sessions include papers, posters, and speed presentations. You simply must submit a presentation abstract online from early December to early February for the JSM Program Committee to review for appropriate placement on the program.

Contributed sessions can be one of the following:

  • Papers: Seven participants (each presenting for 15 minutes) grouped by the JSM Program Committee
  • Speed: A “hybrid” of a poster and presentation. A speed session consists of 20 oral presentations of four minutes each, with five minutes of break after the first set of 10 talks. The short oral presentations are then followed by an e-poster (offered on a 42” LCD display in the landscape position) session later the same day.
  • Posters: Presentations are grouped by a JSM partner society or ASA section.

Note: If you are interested in serving as a session chair, please indicate this during the abstract submission process or contact the member of the program committee representing the section/society of interest to you.
