Attended poster presentations
Posters will be hung all day on Sunday, Monday or Tuesday during the Congress (in the Poster Area) according to the list of topics by day below.
The attended poster sessions – where presenters will be by posters to explain and discuss their work with those interested – will be between 13:15 and 14:45 on these days. We encourage you to support all presenters at the event with active and friendly engagement in the poster sessions.
Please note that in this 90 min presentation period, to facilitate circulation within a topic there will be an odd–even number split of presentations: poster presenters whose posters have an odd number in the last part (suffix) of their notation (e.g. P02.001, P02.003) should be at their poster in the first 45 min of the session (13:15–14:00), whereas poster presenters whose posters have an even number in the last part of their notation (e.g. P03.002, P03.004) should be at their poster in the second 45 min of the session (14:00–14:45). Poster notations is available in your notification letter and also on the Abstract Search Tool.
Poster Notations
Your poster reference for the event is available in the notification letter you have received. Close to the time of the event you will also find poster notations via the Abstract Search Tool on the website and on the Congress mobile app.
The middle part of your abstract notation (e.g. 02 in the notation P02.003) corresponds to a Congress poster topic, as set out below.
