Abstract Presentation Formats
Podium Abstracts
Abstracts accepted for podium presentations are offered in a session with 3-4 other abstracts and grouped by related category to be delivered for presentation. Speakers generally have 15 minutes to present their abstract and should include time for questions and answers. Only one author (primary or first author) may present the podium session.
Poster Abstracts
Abstracts accepted for poster presentations offer a display presenta¬tion of abstracts consisting of the process and outcome of a scientific or professional project. Posters are group by category and displayed during the majority of Congress. Authors of accepted poster abstracts must be present at their poster during the assigned session at the conference to allow for dialog with participants.
Moderated Poster Abstracts
Abstracts accepted for moderated posters are presenta¬tions of a completed poster to a small group of attendees who will review, listen to a brief (five to eight minutes) presentation of information, and then participate in a facilitated question-and-answer portion of the session. Five to six posters will be presented in each session, which will last for approximately 60 minutes. Posters may or may not be grouped based on topic (e.g., prostate cancer), area (e.g., clinical practice), or method (e.g., survey). A moderator will provide an introduction and facilitate questions. Moderated Posters are selected by the planning team and submitters are invited to participate. If unable to take part in a moderated poster session, the poster can/will still be presented at Congress; however, the submitter will be expected to take part in one of the regularly scheduled poster sessions.
All accepted abstracts are available through the ONS website.
