Presentation formats

Oral
A presenter delivers an oral presentation (often using PowerPoint) with a 10-15 minute Q&A at the end of each session.

Poster
The poster session will begin with a rapid fire presentation session. All presenters have 2 minutes to introduce their poster topic and this will be strictly enforced. A single slide (prepared by the conference organiser) with poster title and author details will be displayed during each presentation.

Poster viewing: following the rapid-fire session, at least one presenter must then be available beside each poster to provide details and answer questions up until 12:30pm. Should you wish to stay longer (throughout lunch) that is optional.
