Presentation Preference Three major changes are being implemented for the 2024 Annual Meeting that will increase opportunities for participation. Please read the changes below carefully BEFORE moving forward with your abstract submission. I. “Symp Select” Speaker One additional speaker will be added to each symposium as a “Symp Select” speaker. If you are a principal investigator, you will have the option of choosing “Symp Select” when submitting your abstract. “Symp Select” speakers will have 15 minutes for presentation and 5 minutes for Q&A. Program chairs will select one “Symp Select” speaker for each of the 20 symposium. II. Platform Presenters can also Present a Poster If you select a platform presentation option and are programmed as a talk, you will be able to indicate your preference to also present your work in a poster session. III. Five-Minute Flash Talks Instead of each platform having eight talks, this new change will allow for seven platform talks with three flash talks (5minutes each). These flash talks will be sched uled in the last speaking slot and presenters will also present this work in a poster session.
