INFORMATION FOR PRESENTERS AND SESSION CHAIRS

Poster session and poster pitch

The slide has to be provided as PDF (1 slide format landscape 16:9) and uploaded by September 4th midnight Swiss Time on www.iah2024davos.org/posterpitch. Avoid putting the entire poster on the slide. Rather illustrate why your research is important and interesting.

• Poster presenters are asked to be at their poster after giving their pitch:
  • Poster pitch at the end of the morning -> Presence from 12:45-13:25 at poster (there is a food buffet in the poster area)
