This year’s oral presentation format is different for the all virtual LPSC. While we will have some live sessions with the customary presenter/Q&A format, most sessions will feature a consecutive series of 3-minute, 3-slide lightning talks presented by authors who have pre-recorded and uploaded longer presentations to the vFairs platform. The longer, pre-recorded presentations will be available for community review on March 8. During the oral session, the lightning talks will be followed by a panel-style Q&A between the audience and presenters and moderated by the session chairs.

Fully Live Oral Presentations

The total duration of the live presentation will be either 15 or 20 minutes. Presenters will be notified individually about their assigned presentation duration.
