Overview
Join us for the 2026 Midwest ACSM Mid-Year Virtual Symposium! The symposium will take place virtually on Wednesday, April 15 from 4:00-5:30pm EDT. Be sure to sign-up by Friday, April 10 (11:59pm EDT).

This event will serve as an excellent opportunity for students, trainees, and professionals in the Midwest ACSM region and surrounding states to practice presenting their research, educational, and/or outreach related scholarly work for upcoming spring, summer, and fall conferences (e.g., ACSM Annual Meeting, Midwest ACSM Annual Meeting, American Physiological Society Summit). The event will also provide a forum to engage in discussions on a range of professional development and exercise science related topics (e.g., presenting a powerful poster, exercise is medicine, physical activity legislation).

Who Can Participate?
This event is FREE and open to anyone who would like to attend. Midwest ACSM membership is encouraged but not required to participate. We are looking for attendees to present their work as a virtual poster and others to view posters and provide feedback.

Symposium Format
Welcome – Opening remarks (5 min)
Part 1 – Poster presentations (45 min)
Part 2 – Round table discussions (30 min)
Closing – Final remarks (5 min)

For the poster presentations, presenters will be positioned in their own breakout room and will display their poster through the “share screen” feature. The format of the poster is up to the presenter. For example, the presenter can share the poster through the poster slide show view, 1-4 traditional slides, a graphical abstract, or other option. Presenters will present their poster for a few minutes and then field questions from a small group of attendees in their breakout room. Attendees will then rotate to the next breakout room(s) to view additional posters. Subsequently, presenters will present again to a new group of attendees in their breakout room.
