Moderated Poster Sessions

Thank you for your participation as a moderated poster speaker at the 2022 AUA Annual Meeting. Poster sessions are designed to permit the author to explain and illustrate his/her concepts, techniques, or research findings in a more visual manner than a podium address. Authors are expected to be present during the entire session, which will be moderated.

Poster Format

1. New Session Format – Each poster session will be 1 hour and 15 minutes in length.
2. Each poster presenter is required to pre-submit 2 slides (maximum) for the oral portion of their presentation:
   • 1 abstract data (this slide is typically a replica of the abstract poster, the written abstract, or the most important information from the abstract/poster the presenter plans to highlight)
   • 1 research summary (this slide is meant to highlight any of the research/methods used in obtaining the data for the abstract) to be shown during their 1-minute presentation (see A/V requirements below).
   • A cover slide with the abstract title is permitted and will not count towards the 2-slide maximum. Given the brief time allotment for presentation, disclosure slide(s) are not needed.)
3. Posters will be on display in the Poster Gallery (located in Hall B) for the full day on which your abstract is presented. Your poster may be mounted on its designated board beginning at 6:30 a.m. and collected by 6:30 p.m. before the Poster Gallery closes. (Author presence is not required in the Poster Gallery while posters are on display)
4. During the session, each presenter will have 1 minute to present and 2 minutes for discussion. Your poster will also be displayed digitally in the session room (on a separate screen) during your presentation.
5. The moderators will provide a 5-10 minute summary of the session at the conclusion of the session and choose a "Best Poster" for the session.
