Poster Presentation

If you are presenting a poster, you must bring a printed poster. Posters will be displayed on traditional poster boards at the venue from May 27 to May 29. Two dedicated poster sessions are planned during the congress.

Poster presenters: There is no fixed presentation time, but you should be able to summarize the key points of your poster in approximately 3 minutes during one of the two dedicated poster sessions. The first session will be for posters with an even number and the second session will be for posters with an odd number. Please check your assigned number in the final program. We encourage one of the co-authors to be present if possible at the other session.
