Presentation Formats
Three presentation types will be accepted including: Platform, Symposium, and Poster
Platform Sessions
Platform sessions comprise individual oral presentations, which are scheduled together with other
thematically related platform papers at the discretion of the AADPA Program Committee Chairs. Each
abstract will be allotted 15 minutes for oral presentation and audience discussion. A moderator will rigorously
adhere to these time limits to allow time for discussion.
Symposium Sessions
A symposium session comprises at least 3 and not more than 6 individual oral presentations on the same
topic which are led by a chair/discussant. Each abstract will be reviewed and rated on its merit. All abstracts
should be submitted individually (either layout is acceptable), and an email sent to
[email protected] with the names and titles of each presentation as well as the name of the
chair/discussant. Abstracts will be considered for inclusion in the prospective symposium as well as for an
individual platform session if required.
Posters
The poster format has proven to be an effective and popular method for communication of scientific
information. Poster sessions will be designed to provide a more intimate forum for informal discussion than is
permitted by regular platform presentations. Poster presenters will stay with their poster for the duration of
the poster session and are encouraged to bring handouts for interested viewers. The posters should be
100cm wide by 150cm long (no larger please).
