Presentation Preparation

What is a Rapid Oral Presentation?

A Rapid Oral Presentation is a concise, high-impact presentation format. Presenters will have 5 minutes to present their abstract.

How is a Rapid Oral Presentation different from a standard oral presentation?

Rapid Oral Presentations are shorter and designed for quick, engaging insights. They focus on delivering key messages clearly and succinctly, without extensive background or methodology discussions.

Do I need to register for the congress to present?

Can I present virtually if I am unable to attend in person?

No, this is an in-person event, and virtual presentations will not be accommodated.

What are the technical requirements for my presentation?

Will there be a Speaker Ready Room?
