In-Person ePoster Presentation
The presentation will be facilitated with the use of an electronic poster board, on which you will upload your ePoster prior to the meeting date. The system will allow you to move around and zoom in on any section (just like a large iPad).
Presentation Time and Location
The ePoster Area is located in the exhibition area. ePoster Stations are numbered and each station will have an Session Chair that will manage the running order of your session and the Q&A. You can find the time of your presentation, ePoster station number, session details in the Abstract Centre. Please arrive at the start of your session and stay for all the presentations.
Presentation Timing
Your Presentation should be:
- 3 minutes of oral presentation of your ePoster followed by
- 2 minutes of discussion and questions hosted by the chair
- Click here to find your presentation times
- You should arrive at the ePoster hall, introduce yourself to the session chair and familiarise yourself with the ePoster system at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the session.
- Chairs will be asked to strictly enforce the time limit on your talk. Your question time will not be considered as part of your presentation time. You should therefore practice your talk prior to the meeting with particular regard to the timing.
Your abstract will be available during the annual meeting via the 2023 programme on the website.
Discussion, Questions and Answers
At the end of your presentation you will be asked questions about your abstract. The Chair of your session will facilitate questions from the audience. If English is not your first language, and you need assistance, please bring someone to help you translate.
