4-minute poster lightning talk

  • The maximum duration of a Lightning Talk will be 4 minutes sharp. 

  • Plan and practice the four-minute presentation.    A suggested approach is Introduction: 0.5 min, Main points: 3 mins, Closing points: 0.5 min. 
  • Your poster will be on display elsewhere so you may wish to create a few slides to support your talk, although this is not mandatory. During the conference, you will also be allocated a slot to stand by your poster and discuss the content with other delegates. Therefore, you can view the lightning talk as an opportunity to promote your topic!
  • Instructions on poster design, etc. will follow in due course.

Abstracts: maximum of 100 words

One-hour workshop

  • This type of presentation ought to include a substantial interactive component, such as a break-out session.
