Abstracts fall within 3 main categories; oral presentations, poster presentations and rapid fire presentations. Further details can be found below.

Presentation Types

Oral presentations will be provided the opportunity to present as part of the main programme, including Q&A.

Poster presentations will have work displayed in the poster village. There will be dedicated poster walks throughout this area and interactive screens where further engaging conversations can take place.

Rapid fire presentations will be held within dedicated theatres on the exhibition floor during conference breaks. These snappy, engaging sessions provide the opportunity to present an overview of your work in a more relaxed environment creating conversation amongst like minded groups. You will then also have the opportunity to partake in a poster walk later that day where you can discuss your work in more detail.
