As part of our commitment to student training and fostering scientific exchange, the Smart Calf Rearing Conference 2025 will feature four themed poster sessions held during session breaks. These sessions will focus on the core topics of the conference:

• Calf Health
• Calf Nutrition
• Calf Physiology
• Calf Welfare

Poster sessions are designed to provide an informal and engaging setting for researchers, students, and professionals to present and discuss their work with conference attendees. We strongly encourage student participation as a valuable opportunity to gain presentation experience and receive feedback from leading experts in the field.

Guidelines for Participation:

• Poster presenters do not need to submit an abstract for review. Participation is open to all registered attendees.
• Posters must be relevant to one of the four main themes listed above.
• Presenters are welcome to bring their posters directly to the conference and will be assigned a session and display location on site.
• Poster dimensions must be 45” x 45” to fit the available display equipment.
• Presenters should be available at their posters during the assigned break session to discuss their work with attendees.

We encourage all participants—especially students and early-career researchers—to take advantage of this opportunity to share their work and contribute to the collaborative spirit of the conference.
