Posters at AAPS PharmSci 360
1,700+ scientific posters under one roof!
The 1,700+ scientific posters will be sorted into neighborhoods in the Solution Center based on their track and topic. You can view a poster when it is scheduled, or look it up at any time the Solution Center is open in the Poster Café.
NEW! Poster forums are unscheduled until 9:30 am each day. You can use any terminal during the first hour of the morning to look up any poster.
HOW TO USE A POSTER FORUM
Each neighborhood in the Solution Center contains at least one poster forum, where posters related to that track are displayed. Poster forums are clearly defined, intimate conversational spaces. It is your chance to talk casually with authors and other attendees! Each poster forum contains eight digital monitors, and each monitor displays a specific poster for 60 minutes.
Poster Forums by Track
- Preclinical Development—Forums 1 and 2
- Bioanalytics—Forums 3 and 4
- Clinical Pharmacology—Forum 5
- Manufacturing and Bioprocessing—Forum 6
- Formulation and Quality—Forums 7–13
Add a poster forum to your schedule in the PharmSci 360 app!
How to Find a Specific Poster
Each poster forum will have eight new authors each hour beginning at 9:30 am Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. To find a specific poster, look for its poster number on the AAPS PharmSci 360 mobile app. The poster number contains the following information:
- Day(s) = M (Monday), T (Tuesday), W (Wednesday)
- Start time = When session begins in 24-hour time.
- Forums = 01–15
- Monitor # = 001–104
Poster Café: See Any and Every Poster
No time to visit a forum? Need to see EVERY poster? Visit the Poster Café, which has table-top terminals you can use to look up any poster at any time. You can easily search by track or skim the entire collection.
