Abstract presentation formats
Abstract presentations are split into two formats: oral abstracts and poster abstracts.

There are six oral abstract sessions, each organized by topic area. Presenters have 13 minutes each to present their results and address brief questions. 

Poster abstracts are organized into two one-hour sessions during which the presenter must be present with their poster to discuss the work with attendees. Posters can be presented at almost any stage of research and provide an excellent opportunity for authors to discuss their methods and findings with other professionals.
