Scientific Presentations
All scientific staff, including technical support, postdoctoral fellows, and investigators,
are encouraged to present posters describing their research efforts to both their
colleagues and to the general public. Posters will be displayed in two open sessions
from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday and Thursday.
The posters will be grouped and numbered according to area of research. Presenters
are asked to be at their posters between 11:00am and 1:00 p.m. to meet and discuss
their research with judges, their peers, and special guests.
On the day your poster is scheduled for presentation (either Wednesday or
Thursday) your poster should be up by 10:00am. If you are presenting
your poster on Wednesday, May 14th, your poster should be removed between 2:30pm
and 3:30pm. If you are presenting your poster on Thursday, May 15th, your poster
should be removed between 1:30pm and 2:30pm.
Commercial Science and Technology Expo
For the eighteenth consecutive year, the Biomedical Research Equipment and Supplies
Exhibit sponsored by the Technical Sales Association will be hosted at NCI-Frederick and Ft. Detrick.
To register for the Commercial Science and Technology Expo, go to:
www.gtpmgt.com
The Exhibit affords research professionals from Ft. Detrick, NCI-Frederick and area
scientific communities a convenient opportunity to view a broad selection of the
most advanced equipment, instruments, and services technology has to offer presented
by major national and regional vendors. The exhibit is an on-site, casual forum
that offers a hands-on update to researchers who otherwise might not have the opportunity
to learn about new product developments as they emerge from the research lab to
the marketplace. More than 200 exhibit booths will display state-of-the-art equipment
designed to facilitate biomedical research including DNA synthesis, genetic engineering,
electrophoresis, cell culture, chromatography, and much more.
Representatives from exhibiting firms will be at their booths to demonstrate equipment
and answer questions about the use of their products in the research lab. The commercial
exhibit hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday and 10:00 a.m. to 2:30
p.m. on Thursday.
The Technical Sales Association is a nationwide, member-led organization based in
the greater Washington DC area. Members are manufacturers and distributors who supply
products and services to the biomedical research/biotech industries. Over the years,
the Technical Sales Association has donated more than $45,000.00 from the exhibit
proceeds to Ft. Detrick's Morale, Welfare, and Recreation fund in appreciation of
the installation's support of this event. Since 1999, the Technical Sales Association
has supported the awards for the best scientific posters presented at the Research
Festival.
