2021 Annual Meeting – Advice to presenters

Video presentations: The year the oral presentations will be pre-recorded with the questions by videoconference immediately after the presentation. The timings for an oral presentation are ten minutes for the presentation and five minutes for questions. The timings for a presented poster are four minutes for the presentation and one minute for questions. Please adhere to these absolute time limits of fifteen minutes for an oral presentation and five minutes for a invited poster presentation as they will be strictly enforced.
