2020 Abstract Q&A Sessions

SLB is excited by the wonderful response to our call for abstracts. There are two live Q&A sessions scheduled where you can view the abstracts, hear from the authors, and ask questions.  These live Q&A sessions are a great way to connect with your SLB community and learn about some of the great work being done by our early career members.  Society members can register for FREE below.

 Format: At each session, the 3 minute abstract video will be shown followed by a maximum 5 minute Q&A discussion period for each author. At the conclusion of the live sessions, all videos will be made available to the society membership for viewing at your leisure.
