Call for E-Posters

---

The Piano Conference: NCKP 2025 seeks e-poster presentations from educators, researchers, and performers, and encourages proposals from emerging professionals and students. E-posters can include topics related to general pedagogy or those based upon research.

The e-poster platform provides a dynamic opportunity to share rich, multi-media content including videos, audio, links, documents, images, and interactive polls. Presenters will have the opportunity to share their poster and engage with attendees during the in-person conference or during the online event. 

Awards will be presented to the best pedagogy and best research e-poster. See the NCKP 2023 award-winning e-posters, Research and General Pedagogy.
