Special Session Presentation Guidelines
For all Special Sessions:
- Refer to the list below, and to the email that you have already been sent via CMT, to find the format of your session, and of your presentation within that session.
- For oral presentations within a Special Session, the technical requirements for your slides are the same as regular oral sessions although the duration of your presentation may differ.
- For poster presentations, follow the regular poster presentation guidelines when preparing your poster.
- Some special sessions require presenters to prepare both slides and a poster.
- Organisers’ slides must be uploaded in the same way as for regular oral sessions.
