Please find below some important and useful information for your ePoster discussion presentation.

ePOSTER DISCUSSION PRESENTATIONS

ePoster Discussion Presentations are 5 minutes long: 3 minutes for presentation and 2 minutes Q&A.

Please prepare up to a 4 slide presentation (not including your title slide)  – the first slide should be the title slide and the second your disclosure slide.

PRESENTATION SLIDES

In compliance with CME/CPD requirements all speakers and oral presenters have to complete a conflict of interest form. Please include the title slide with your name and title of your lecture at the start of your presentation, followed by the Conflict of Interest disclosure slide. You can simply list the conflicts on our second slide or write “Nothing to Disclose”.

Please click here to download a template of the title and disclosure slides.

PRESENTATION SLIDES UPLOAD

• Please upload your presentation slides, at least four hours before the scheduled start of your lecture(s) via the link you will receive about 2-3 weeks prior to the Congress.
• Presentations can be uploaded either online using the link, or at the Speakers’ Ready Room onsite. You can bring your slides to the Speakers’ Ready Room on a USB key or an external hard disk.
• You are asked to only use the Congress computers in the session halls for presentation purposes. The Congress will not be able to support lecture slides presented on personal computers.
