Moderated poster sessions
Poster presenters will be issued with their poster number and location two weeks before the retreat. Presenters will also be issued with the time of their moderated poster session. This will either take place within the first coffee break or during the lunch break. Presenters must stay by their posters during their presentation session and wait for their judges.
Posters will be assessed for:
- Visual Presentation and Style
- Quality of Scientific Content
- Scientific and/or Clinical importance
- Oral Presentation and response to questions.
Poster presentations should be timed for 7 minutes (5-minute presentation and 2 minutes of questions).
On the day
Presenters should ensure that they attach their posters to their posterboards first thing in the morning of 9 May during the registration period. Vecro will be provided to attach the posters.
Poster rooms
We have three rooms at the Marriott Hotel for posters:
- Trinidad Room on the ground floor next to the conference room
- Barbados Room on the ground floor next to the conference room
- Gallery (downstairs from the conference room).
