(Kindly remove your poster at the conclusion of the session.)
People will assemble around their poster session assignment in a small group.
Each poster presenter will stand in front of their poster and present a 1 to 1 ½ minute overview, with a focus on the “take home” points rather than the methods.
After the brief overview, other poster presenters assigned to the session block, as well as the assigned discussant and other interested attendees, can ask questions while the presenter stands in front of his/her poster. Once a presenter is finished, the group moves on to the next poster in line and the same procedures follow. Once all of the posters in the small assigned group have been briefly summarized, the assigned discussant makes some relevant points about the various pieces of work and a discussion opens among the presentation group and interested attendees.
