Daily Schedule-at-a-Glance
HIGHLIGHTS
Plenary Sessions
Each morning will feature concurrent plenary
sessions focused on interdisciplinary topics
of broad interest. The goal is to showcase the
transcendent science, with topics selected for
minimal overlap and maximum appeal. Here’s
your chance to expand your knowledge and
better understand new trends in microbiology.
Plenary sessions will also host Division and
Award Lectures.
Symposia
Symposia held in the morning and afternoon
will focus on more specialized topics; asm2014
symposia will include sessions from the
General Program, Diagnostic Microbiology
& Epidemiology Program, and Special
Interest Sessions. Symposia will also host
Division Lectures, Award Lectures and
15-minute presentations of selected abstracts.
Oral Presentations of Selected
Abstracts
Select afternoon symposia at asm2014 will
include four 15-minute oral presentations from
the submitted abstracts of graduate students,
postdoctoral fellows, assistant professors.
