- All presenters in each group should gather at the first poster in each group where they will meet with assigned moderators for their thematic category.
- Each presenter will have 5 minutes of total time allocated to their poster, with 3 minutes overview presentation of the take-home results and message from their study and 2 minutes for questions from moderators and the audience.
- Each poster will be presented sequentially with strict adherence to allocated times.
- Following the presentation of all posters in each group, the moderators will lead a brief 5-10 minute discussion of the main themes and summative conclusions from the studies presented within each group.
