Invited presentations are scheduled for a total of 20 minutes, with 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for questions. Discussion time is allocated at the end of each day for further conversation about the topics.

Regardless of the number of talks you have given, speakers are encouraged to read this blog post: Speak Your Science: How to Give a Better Conference Talk.

Poster Presentations

How to design an effective scientific poster is an excellent resource for poster presenters.

Authors requesting posters, or assigned to poster as an option, will be featured in lightning talk sessions. Presenters will have 3 minutes to introduce their posters using a maximum of two PowerPoint slides. Unlike other oral presentations, lightning talk PowerPoint slides will be managed by an assigned moderator to eliminate the time it takes for presenters to share their screens. Send PowerPoint slide(s) to [email protected] no later than October 30, 2020.

Poster presenters should upload an electronic file of their poster prior to the workshop for reference by attendees prior to and during the workshop.

E-Posters

The deadline for uploading e-posters is November 20, 2020. To view all submitted e-posters: View E-Posters.

E-posters will be available before, during, and after the workshop for attendees and for those who are unable to attend the workshop. Presenters are urged to take advantage of this opportunity to increase the visibility of their research to a global audience.
