Please see below for a compilation of general research Frequently Asked Questions. We hope this answers many of your questions in relation to submitting your research to present at our AISES National Conference. For further questions or guidance, please contact us at research@aises.org.
We look forward to learning about your unique and groundbreaking research at the conference!
- When should I register after submitting my oral or poster research?
-
You should wait until your research presentation is confirmed by AISES, at which point you will receive a registration discount code to register for the conference. Do not register for the conference before you receive a code! If you do register and pay in advance of receiving this code, your registration refund is subject to the Cancellation and Refund Policy.
- What are you doing for timekeeping for oral presentations?
-
We will have greeters at each session that will seat the judges and keep time for the presenters.
- Who do I contact for questions?
-
E-mail the research@aises.org for questions pertaining to your oral or poster presentations. One of our staff members will get back with you within a few days of your message.
- Can I submit more than one poster?
-
No, we do not recommend submitting more than one.
- Can I submit more than one oral presentation?
-
No, we do not recommend submitting more than one.
- What are the criteria for acceptance?
-
Professional and/or faculty mentors should NOT be submitting for students in the pre-college and college (undergraduate/graduate) categories. Students should be submitting their own unique research to present at the conference.
- Can I submit a poster and oral presentation?
-
It is best that you submit one or the other, as you would have to leave your poster to present for orals, and that may present timing issues. If you submit for both and are accepted for both, please communicate with our team which one you would prefer to present.

Judges will come through sometime between 9am-noon PST to judge your posters. Students, please remain by your posters throughout this three-hour timeframe.
