Remote participation
We are planning a fully in-person meeting. Sections will not be streamed and presenting remotely will not be available.
Presentation Upload
Remote upload service: Advance file upload of your presentation will be available from April 2026. Uploading instructions and special urls will be emailed to authors. On-site upload: All presenters are required to bring their presentations saved on to a USB memory stick or external hard drives virus free. All presentations will be checked in at the Slide Center. Technicians will check them for compatibility and load them on to the Slide Center Network. Should a virus be detected, the presentation will not be loaded on the network. Purging and cleaning of the infected files will not be performed.
ePosters
The ePoster session features digital posters displayed on large screens at the congress venue during each day of the event. Attendees can easily search the poster database and access content on demand, selecting specific posters to view at their convenience. There is no dedicated poster presentation time where author of the poster should be present at the poster stations. Location: in the Foyer of the main congress halls.
How to prepare an e-poster?
Please prepare a single page .pdf file, including the abstract ID. The resolution in pixels should be 1080x1920 (vertical / portrait), with a maximum recommended file size of 300 MB. If the contribution is created with Microsoft PowerPoint, the slide size should be 19.05 cm x 33.87 cm in portrait format (vertical). Please note that the file will be opened through a browser that adjusts the viewing scale to the screen. Different formats will still be viewable, but they will simply use the display surface less effectively, which will have a portrait (vertical) orientation. The most significant test is: "Does the file display on my screen?" Consider that if your .pdf is difficult to read on a small screen, it will be more readable on a larger screen. If it is legible on your computer, it will be even more so on the e-poster display. There is no predefined templates for the e-posters, you can use your usual personal or institutional template. Once you have prepared the pdf file of your poster, zoom in on the details that you want to be visible. If you can view them correctly on your device, they will be displayed correctly on the e-poster system. E-posters can include text, figures, and images, but not sound, videos or urls. It is recommended to create and add a QR code on your e-poster that leads to your website where more information is available on your study.
