Opportunities for Presenting
The Organising Committee seeks to support innovation in the delivery of ideas. We encourage you to think of the best way of engaging with your audience, sharing your experience and generating exploration and learning.
Abstract authors may be asked to re frame or further develop their exploration; or explore a collaborative presentation with an author who has submitted a similarly themed abstract.
Please select If you would like to present an Oral or Poster Presentation before submitting your abstract via the Abstract Portal. Presentations which are not accepted for an oral presentation may be offered a poster presentation.
Oral Presentations
- Oral Presentations will vary in time according to the topic of presentation.
- There will be Q& A for all sessions except during the 3 min session.
- Presentations which are not accepted for an oral presentation may be offered a poster presentation.
Poster Presentations
- Posters will remain on display throughout the conference. You will be expected to stand by your poster to discuss the contents with interested delegates for at least one of the scheduled poster sessions. You may want to add your mobile phone number, so delegates can arrange to meet you at your poster at specific times.
- If you would like to submit an abstract for a poster display at the conference, please nominate this request when you submit via the Abstract Portal on the conference website. Posters should be in portrait and not exceed AO size (1189mm high x 841mm wide). These will be mounted on a display panel, for the duration of the conference.
