Resources for Presenting an Abstract

Presenters who submitted an abstract to the 106th Annual Meeting will speak during a live session or present a poster. During abstract submission, submitters can select one of four preferred presentation formats.

In-Person Oral Presenter: An abstract that has been reviewed and accepted by the program chairs. This presenter presents a slide deck in-person in the session room during an oral or joint oral session.

Virtual Oral Presenter:  An abstract that has been reviewed and accepted by the program chairs. This presenter presents a slide deck virtually via Zoom during an oral or joint oral session. 

In-Person Poster Presenter: An abstract that has been reviewed and accepted by the program chairs. This presenter presents a poster during a poster or joint poster session. The Standard Poster Display is a 4'H x 6'W (1.2m x 1.8m) double-sided Velcro covered panel. These panels have a horizontal/landscape orientation. Poster and joint poster sessions are held in person only. 

Virtual Poster Presenter: An abstract that has been reviewed and accepted by the program chairs. This presenter presents a slide deck or PDF remotely via Zoom during the Virtual Poster Slam. 

Please note that while the submitter's preferred presentation format is collected during submission, abstracts are accepted and scheduled at the program chairs' discretion.

    • Please use our 'Do Not Share' icon in your slides to indicate if you do not want images or recordings of your content to be shared.
    • Once on-site, we encourage in-person oral presenters to preview their presentation from the Speaker Ready Room to confirm that your visuals are appearing as intended.
  • Upload Optional Supplementary Information (by 26 February): PDF File, Extended Abstract, and/or Supplementary URL 
    • We encourage all presenters to submit supplementary information as your time to present at the meeting is limited. Posting this information online is an excellent opportunity to include more detailed information that may require more time for study than is available at the meeting. All supplementary information is available in the meeting online program within 24 hours of upload – so you can reference it before, during, and after the meeting!
  • Withdraw Abstract: Abstracts should be withdrawn if the presenting author is unable to present or identify a replacement presenting author. Please note withdrawn papers will still be accessible on the conference online program and authors will still be able to upload supplementary materials such as extended abstracts, PDFs of presentations and/or poster images as well as links to other websites.
