The Society for Biomolecular Sciences (SBS) announces the delivery of their Annual Meeting posters and abstracts with online commenting through Poster Hall 2.0 developed by Conference Archives, Inc. The SBS e-poster website, accessible to SBS members, brings together posters and abstracts from the 2008 and 2009 SBS Annual Conference & Exhibitions.

The online poster archive enables SBS members the ability to browse or search for posters by keyword and metadata, and then post comments about an individual poster. Further, the SBS poster website allows poster presenters to upload an audio version of their poster presentation.

The Society for Biomolecular Sciences, now in its 15th year, is a leading non-profit scientific society dedicated to advancing the science of drug discovery and related disciplines through education and information exchange among professionals globally.

The society offers its 2,000-plus members a variety of publications and programs, most notably the Journal of Biomolecular Screening, a highly regarded peer-reviewed resource for cutting edge research, and SBS News, which delivers the latest news and special features related to the society, drug discovery, and the biomolecular sciences. The cornerstone of the society's educational efforts is the Annual Conference & Exhibition.

The Poster Hall 2.0 e-poster solution was designed to enable associations to not only extend access to their meeting posters but to also facilitate discussion of the research.

Delivering online posters is not new, "however, few organizations are delivering online tools to foster communication and scientific collaboration based on this often leading-edge research. The Society for Biomolecular Sciences has recognized the important role that social media tools can play in drug discovery."
