Poster set up

Today, Belinda Cupid, research manager for the MND Association, and I co-ordinated the set up of 200 poster boards ready for poster presenters to display their posters. Our deadline was 4pm and luckily we made it as the clock struck four. This may seem like quite a trivial task but it involved strategy, willpower and determination to reach our deadline.

Now that the poster boards are up, presenters can put their posters up in their allocated spots when they arrive. All posters should be on display until the end of the symposium. Some of the presenters seemed quite keen to put their poster up, coming through the door at 4pm whilst others I’m sure will be rushing to put their poster up tomorrow morning! Hopefully, the poster session, which will be held on Wednesday morning (9 December) will have an excellent atmosphere and will stimulate some interesting conversations.

So far, over 840 researchers have registered for the symposium which starts tomorrow morning, the clinical session of which will be held in the room shown in the picture on the left. Tomorrow, the symposium will begin and I hope that you will enjoy reading what has been happening in the world of MND research in the last year.
