As an alternative to the traditional printed paper poster, the CSAMM is pleased to introduce e-posters to the Annual Scientific Congress 2020. E-posters will replace the printed posters and we are sure that you will share our enthusiasm for this innovative approach to poster presentation. As you will have uploaded your poster in advance there is no need to print and carry a poster to the meeting. This will save you the time and costs associated with printing and reduce the carbon footprint of the meeting. There will be monitors at the conference where all posters can be viewed.

Abstracts may only be submitted using the electronic abstract submission system and must meet the following criteria:

• The abstract must not exceed 300 words• Abstracts must be written in English, explained abbreviations may be used• Graphs and Tables are not allowed

All Abstracts must follow the required structure:• Introduction• Objectives• Materials and methods• Results• Discussion• Conclusions

Successful entrants will be emailed instructions on how to upload their e-posters for presentation after 7th May 2020. Your e-poster should be produced using the PowerPoint Poster template which will be provided. The content of the presentation should be of a single slide. E-Posters of different dimensions may be skewed/stretched/truncated when displayed on the monitors at the Annual Scientific Congress unless they conform to the template.

A maximum of ten E-posters adjudged to be of sufficient merit will be eligible for the top three prizes.
