It’s easy to enter. All you have to do is 1) Take a picture in front of your poster and 2) Tweet it along with #PickMyPoster and #STDConf18 on the day of your poster session.

The person or group who receives the most retweets and likes will win breakfast with CDC’s STD Director, Dr. Gail Bolan, on the last morning of the conference AND a giant STD microbe. Because posters are embargoed until the morning of your assigned poster session – a winner will be chosen for both Tuesday and Wednesday. An official count will occur each day at 6 pm. Winners will be announced from the @CDCSTD Twitter page on Wednesday evening between the Poster Grand Rounds and networking event.
