The format will be 8 mins of presentation time + 4 mins Q & A.

Poster Blitz presentation

Poster Blitz presentations will be offered to high-scoring poster submissions.

Poster Blitz includes a title slide + a maximum of 3 slides and a 3-minute oral presentation of an electronic poster during the poster session, followed by a 10-minute discussion with other presenters.

Poster presentation

Poster presenters will be in traditional hard-copy poster format.

It will be submitted electronically via an online portal prior to the conference; however, you will be responsible for printing and delivering it to the venue in Queensland.

Poster presenters will be assigned one day to display their printed poster at the conference. In addition, poster presenters will be able to stand next to their printed poster during a Meet-and-Greet session.

Posters will be displayed in the hallway, foyer and/or the exhibit hall and receive comments and questions on their poster(s) from meeting participants.

Posters will be accessible prior to the conference on the ADRF website and for up to three months after the conference, maximising exposure in person and virtually for an extended period of time.
