BMA2020 Presentation Instructions

A step-by-step guide for making your presentation can be downloaded by clicking here.

We have identified two technical considerations:

1. The laser pointer function in PowerPoint does NOT work when recording on a Mac. Unfortunately, there is no current fix for this. We recommend that you either use animations (only) to emphasize your points, record on a PC, or use a 3rd party screen recording software (ex. Camtasia).

2. Older versions of PowerPoint can not export to .mp4. They export the files as .wmv. This is ok and works fine in our system.

BMA2020 abstract submissions are now closed.

Option #1 (closed). To be considered for both BMA2020 and ASBMR2020, submit via the ASBMR website ($70 fee, this option is now closed).

Option #2 (closed). To be considered for BMA2020 only, follow the instructions below ($0 fee).

If selected for participation, all abstracts will be awarded either a plenary short oral presentation (10-minutes) or a virtual poster. We encourage the submission of all BMA-related research and recognize that the quantity of data generated for BMA2020 may be decreased due to COVID-19-related workplace restrictions.

You may choose to have your abstract considered for presentation at BMA2020, ASBMR 2020, or both meetings. Please note, if you are selected for an oral podium presentation at ASBMR, you may not present your abstract in a plenary oral format at BMA2020. However, you may still be invited to present a virtual poster at BMA2020.
