Panel presentations bring together views from a group of presenters into a discussion of innovative ideas, current topics, and relevant issues.

The panel presentation is comprised of two components: Presentations from the members of the panel. Total of 60 minutes. Question and answers between the delegates and panel members. Total of 30 minutes. Each panel will consist of a chair and at least 3 panellists. The chair is to be the main organiser of the session and main contact for the secretariat. The chair will coordinate the preparation, theme of presentations, be the timekeeper, and animate the Q&A session. Panellists will provide brief presentation on the theme of the panel. Each panellist is expected to provide a different perspective on the topic of discussion. One combined submission with a minimum of 3 and maximum of 6 individual presenters must be submitted by one author on behalf of the group. The chair will be required to submit a title of the panel, names and affiliations of all participants, including the chair, and an abstract overview of 300 words.

20×20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and you talk along to the images. Each presenter has approx. 7 minutes to present, with 20 accompanying imagery slides that automatically progress.

Poster presentations combine text and graphics highlighting one or more of the symposium topics and will be displayed in catering areas for the duration of the symposium.

This gives you the opportunity to connect and network with attendees, while delving deeper into your poster topic and how you are making an active contribution. Specific information regarding size and mounting requirements will be provided with the notice of acceptance.
