Poster Grand Rounds
Due to the number of high-quality poster submissions, Poster Grand Rounds are again being planned for SSO 2018. During these sessions, top scoring poster presentations will be highlighted by moderators in each disease site category at ePoster stations in Exhibit Hall D1. Discussion and comments will be encouraged in the Grand Rounds.

Presenters of the posters chosen for inclusion in the Poster Grand Rounds will be informed if their poster has been selected in early February. Please plan your travel accordingly.
