Technology Transfer Ambassadors Program, Lightning Pitch & Poster Session
Presenters will each deliver a one-minute "lightning pitch." Attendees can then opt to learn more by joining one of the four break-out rooms.
In the breakout rooms, presenters will share a poster about their selected technology and provide a short (five-minute) presentation.
Attendees will be able to ask the poster presenters questions and move between breakout rooms.
