Submitting Your Poster

Two options for registration (pick one):

  1. All presenters must register and attend IN-PERSON (strongly encouraged!) so you can present LIVE and build your professional network.
  2. All presenters must register at a minimum as a ONE-DAY CORE pass — poster submitter only (for the day of your poster presentation) to have your digital poster included in the digital neighborhood; and qualify for awards (applies to posters submitted by the 19 May 2024 deadline); and to be published in the ARCHIVES of PM&R. 


If you are unable to attend the conference in-person, there is an option to have ACRM staff present your recorded poster, which includes a $150 set-up fee in addition to the one day registration.

  • Pre-record your presentation by 13 October 2024 (there is no option to record on-site).
  • Late-breaking poster presenters: for details & deadlines.

Poster Spotlight

The ACRM Poster Spotlight will be held immediately following the ACRM Plenary on Tuesday 31 October. At this exciting session, this year’s TOP 30 poster authors, as determined by the peer reviewers, will take the main stage in the ballroom and provide a one-minute overview of their research. This is an opportunity for attendees to note posters of interest. Then, attendees may follow up with authors during the Poster Viewing sessions. 

All posters submitted by the poster deadline 30 April EXTENDED to 19 MAY will be eligible for consideration to be selected as an ACRM POSTER SPOTLIGHT to take the main stage with their poster.  Selected poster authors must be present in-person in Dallas to participate. Submissions during the ‘Call for Late-Breaking Posters’ will *NOT* be eligible for awards

Those who choose to present in Dallas will enjoy the INCREDIBLE NETWORKING and inter-professional interactions that only happen at ACRM.
