Early Career Posters

Visit these pages for important information about other author deliverables.


JANNAF is interested in offering more opportunities for Early Career Propulsion and Energetics Professionals to engage with one another and the overall JANNAF community. We will be holding the inaugural Early Career Poster session on Tuesday, 10 December, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Poster abstracts will only be accepted from Early Career professionals.

In order to be considered an Early Career Professional, you must be one of the following:

  • A student
  • Working in the field for less than five years
  • Have obtained your Doctorate within the last five years

Below you will find information needed to successfully prepare and submit your poster. Please refer to this site often for program updates and author alerts.

If your abstract has been accepted for presentation as a poster, the poster should elaborate on your abstract and the salient points you would like to make.

Papers are optional for early career posters. This is NOT the case for abstracts submitted/accepted for oral presentation in a standard technical session.

Poster Session Details:

  • Posters will be displayed in the Glenwaters room at the Hilton Charlotte University Place beginning on Monday, 9 December.
  • Presenters should set up their posters between 10:00 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Monday.

  • Poster presenters must remain present by their posters for the duration of the 1-hour poster session.
  • Posters should be removed by the presenter at the conclusion of the poster session on Tuesday evening. This dismantle time is subject to change if the Glenwaters room is not needed for another meeting function the next day. We will notify poster authors if posters may displayed beyond Tuesday evening.
