If you are interested in submitting a proposal, submit below
NOTE! Submissions during the 'Call for Late-Breaking Posters' will *NOT* be eligible for awards
NEWSFLASH: Submit from anywhere in the world; you don’t need to be in person to present your poster, however; you must present in-person to be eligible for poster awards and for Poster Spotlight.
Scientific posters will be in FULL DIGITAL DISPLAY at the ACRM 102nd Annual Conference in Chicago — making poster presenting convenient, economical and environmentally friendly.
ACRM especially encourages proposals that are:

Submitting Your Poster
- Register for the ACRM 2025 Conference & book your Hilton Chicago room through ACRM for the best rates and most flexibility as soon as possible.
Two options for registration (pick one):
- All presenters must register and attend IN-PERSON (strongly encouraged!) so you can present LIVE and build your professional network.
- All presenters must register at a minimum as a ONE-DAY CORE pass — poster submitter only (for the day of your poster presentation) to have your digital poster included in the digital neighborhood; and qualify for awards (applies to posters submitted by the 19 May 2025 deadline); and to be published in the ARCHIVES of PM&R.
If you are unable to attend the conference in-person, there is an option to have ACRM staff present your recorded poster, which includes a $150 set-up fee in addition to the one day registration.
- Pre-record your presentation by 13 October 2025 (there is no option to record on-site).
- Late-breaking poster presenters: for details & deadlines.
Poster Spotlight
The ACRM Poster Spotlight will be held immediately following the ACRM Plenary on Tuesday 28 October. At this exciting session, this year’s TOP 30 poster authors, as determined by the peer reviewers, will take the main stage in the ballroom and provide a one-minute overview of their research. This is an opportunity for attendees to note posters of interest. Then, attendees may follow up with authors during the Poster Viewing sessions.
All posters submitted by the poster deadline 31 MAY will be eligible for consideration to be selected as an ACRM POSTER SPOTLIGHT to take the main stage with their poster. Selected poster authors must be present in-person in Chicago to participate. Submissions during the ‘Call for Late-Breaking Posters’ will *NOT* be eligible for awards
Those who choose to present in Dallas will enjoy the INCREDIBLE NETWORKING and inter-professional interactions that only happen at ACRM.
Submit TODAY, and PRESENT this fall from anywhere in the world.
Get Published in the ARCHIVES of PM&R and TAKE YOUR RESEARCH FURTHER at ACRM with worldwide reach.
Your poster will be available online and in the conference App for three months after the conference.
What is a Scientific Poster?
A Scientific Poster (aka research poster) is a graphic presentation of a scientific paper with a 3 – 5 minute recording and an approximately 10-minute LIVE presentation on-site (in Chicago). A poster display summarizes information or research concisely and attractively to help publicize and generate discussion.
