2024 Spatial Biology Summit

Registration

Registration is now open at bit.ly/spatialbiology24
To support the costs of this event, we are charging a registration fee:

Please note that your registration is not considered complete if you have not paid the registration fee.
Registration fees are non-refundable, so please double-check before submitting.

Abstract submission

This year we will feature a poster session as well as trainee talks.
Abstract submission is not required to attend the summit.
All abstracts for posters will be accepted.
To be considered for a talk, abstracts are due by 7/12/24. Participants will be notified if they are selected by the end of July.
To get an accurate headcount of posters, please submit poster abstracts by 8/31/24. You may first submit the registration form indicating you want to present a poster without an abstract, and edit the registration form to submit the abstract at a later date.
We will also have a lightning poster talk session, where poster presenters have the option to give a 3-minute introduction to their poster.
Please keep posters to a maximum size of 36" x 48".
