Presentation:

At a scheduled time, you will make a 5 minute presentation to a group of attendees led by a senior SMDM member, followed by a period of time for questions. Consult the schedule for details.

This arrangement will ensure that every presenter will have the opportunity focused presentation, discussion, and feedback from a senior SMDM member.

Attendees:

Attendees have the option of viewing abstracts as part of a group (accompanied by short oral presentations) or on their own. The groups will be led by a senior SMDM member and will spend about 5 minutes with each presenter. Attendees may join or leave a group any time during the session. Attendees viewing abstracts on their own are free to approach the presenters and discuss and ask questions throughout the session. However, when the group arrives, please wait until the short oral presentation is completed.
