Invited Seminar Presentations

Presenters specifically recruited and invited by the MSACL network have only general timing guidelines with presentation lengths ranging from 25-50 minutes and open-ended Q&A - typically 15-60 min.

Submitted Abstracts : "Podium"

After submitting through the online portal and being accepted to present, Podium presenters will either be administratively placed in a specific session (and sent an email for confirmation), or have the option to select a presentation position from with Abstract Management within their Network Directory Profile based on those that are currently open.

Presentations are planned to occur in groups of two with a 15-20 minute interlude to allow time for attendees to visit vendor breakout rooms in order to learn more about tools and services available to accelerate their research.

Submitted Abstracts : "Poster"

After submitting through the online portal your submission will be considered for participation. If accepted, you will select a Poster Session in which to participate. Expect anywhere from 4-8 other poster presenters may be in each session.

Each presenter will open in the main Zoom room with a 120-second pitch, and then each presenter will move to a breakout room to attend visitors interested in discussing their specific poster.

Slide sharing in the breakout rooms is expected, but not required. Do whatever you feel is best. One suggestion is that the presenter partition their "poster" between 1 to 5 slides rather than share an actual poster.

Total time: ~1 hr.
