SPPC abstract archive
This section contains a listing of talks and posters delivered at SPPC in previous years. If you are wondering what SPPC is all about, or if it is for you, then this is a good place to start.
We have rebuilt this archive from various sources, so it may not be complete. If you are the author of one of the talks, or you were at the event and still have a copy of the abstract booklet filed away somewhere, then we'd love to have a copy of it to share here. Please contact
We particularly encourage you to check out the posters and video from our most recent events:
SPPC 2020 Virtual Event
SPPC2020 was held virtually due to the global Covid-19 pandemic, but you are able to view the #sppc2020 virtual poster gallery and Session recordings from SPPC 2020 in this section.
SPPC 2021 Virtual
SPPC was again held virtually due to uncertainty over Covid-19, but participants enjoyed using the "Gather" space to participate with each other. The posters have been archived and are available in this section.
