Poster Presentations
Poster presentations at O=MEGA/WCO4 provide a format for delivering a wide range of content (e.g. scientific, public health or education research findings, continuing education case reports, etc.). Posters will be on display all-day, with designated time provided where delegates can speak with the authors about their posters. Learn more here.
Poster abstracts can be up to 350 words. Scientific posters should provide a conventional structured abstract (Aim, Methods, Results, Conclusions), whereas other poster types may elect to use an unstructured abstract, if appropriate.
