So, how does submission of abstracts work?

- Invited speaker (~25 mins)
- Elevated speaker (~10 mins)
- Elevated speaker (~10 mins)
- Elevated speaker (~10 mins)
- Invited speaker (~25 mins)
During abstract submission, you will be asked if you would like to be considered for an oral presentation or remain as a poster. A small number of submissions will be considered by the Board for 10 minute elevated oral presentation and you will be informed in advance of the outcome. For the first 4 of the 6 oral sessions (on days 1 and 2), the elevated oral presentations will be predominantly from early career researchers, who will then be eligible for the Korenchevsky prize. The Korenchevsky prize is awarded each year to the best early career researcher elevated oral presentation. The winner will be presented with their award at the conference dinner on the evening of day 2. Poster awards will be presented to 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. This year, we will have 2 poster receptions.
