WORLDSymposium 2027 Poster Sessions

Last year, over 400 scientific abstracts were presented at three separate poster sessions. These sessions are an excellent opportunity to see, hear and discuss specific research topics directly with the abstract authors. Although the ePoster content will be available to registered attendees throughout WORLDSymposium 2027 via the Mobile App, the opportunity for live Q&A with the presenters is limited to their assigned live poster sessions.

Late-Breaking Abstract Submission Site opens November 1, 2026 and will close December 1, 2026 at 12:00 CST.

All abstracts received by the October 1, 2026 deadline will be considered for platform presentation and inclusion in the lysosomes issue of Molecular Genetics and Metabolism (MGM) which will be published in February 2027. Poster acceptance notifications will be emailed to the first author of the submitted abstract on or around November 2, 2026. Assigned poster numbers will be available on the 2027 poster listing.

Due to publication deadlines, late-breaking abstracts are published in the program materials, and are not published in Molecular Genetics and Metabolism (MGM). Late-Breaking Poster acceptance notifications will be emailed to the first author of the submitted abstract on or around December 11, 2026.

2027: Posters will be presented in three (3) Sessions

The poster sessions provide an excellent opportunity to discuss concepts, share knowledge, and exchange ideas with abstract authors and other WORLDSymposium participants. Authors who accept a poster presentation will be assigned to present their abstract during one of three Live (in-person) sessions in the Exhibit Hall, based on the final abstract category for each abstract. Poster presenters are required to be in attendance at their poster for their assigned timeframe.

In addition to a printed poster for the live meeting presentation, all poster presenters are required to submit an electronic version of their poster, which will be available to attendees throughout WORLDSymposium 2027 in the Mobile App. Details on both the printed poster and ePoster requirements will be emailed to the first author within the acceptance email. An ePoster submission link will be sent to all first authors approximately one month prior to the start of WORLDSymposium 2027.

All registered attendees will have access to the posters and ePosters beginning at 05:00 PST, on Monday, February 1, 2027. The printed posters will be displayed on poster board kiosks in the Exhibit Hall during the assigned times listed below. In addition, ePosters will be available for viewing to all registered attendees throughout the live meeting on the WORLDSymposium Mobile App, and available to On Demand registered attendees, from February 1 – March 12, 2027.

All posters will be in the Exhibit Hall in the Seaport Ballroom. Daily poster receptions, including live Q&A with the presenters, will take place as outlined below.
