Presentations will NOT be uploaded in the individual session rooms. We ask that you check-in at the speak reader room at least the day before your presentation to confirm that your talk has been received. The Speaker Ready Room is located in the Coromandel Room, on Level 5 of the SkyCity Convention Centre.

POSTER PRESENTATIONS

About: There will be one dedicated poster session on Thursday, 8 December from 1830 (630 pm) to 2030 (830 pm) in the Auckland Room on Level 4 of the convention centre. Presenting authors are requested to attend this session to take advantage of opportunities to discuss their work with Congress participants. To allow presenters the opportunity to talk to other presenters, authors of even numbered posters are asked to stand by their poster during the first hour (630-730 pm), and authors of odd numbered posters in the second hour (730-830 pm). Drinks (cash bar) and a light snack will be served. Please note that your poster should be limited to the size of a rectangle 0.6 m wide by 1.2 m tall (portrait orientation) in order to fit appropriately on the poster board.

Timing: Presenters may set up their posters starting at 1300 (1 pm) on 5 December. Posters can remain up throughout the duration of the Congress, but please take them down by noon on 9 December. Posters not removed by the appropriate time will be removed by SCB volunteers and disposed.

How to display your poster: Presenters will be provided with a space and pins to mount their poster presentation. Poster spaces are numbered and labelled by presenter surname. Please mount your poster in the appropriate spot so that others will be able to find it.
Each presenter will be provided with a surface to mount their poster.
