Podium talk
Fifteen minutes in a plenary session, presented to the whole meeting. Six of these slots sit in most sessions, and all are filled from submitted abstracts.
Present your work
Abstract submission
More than forty podium talks and ten Nano-Talks are selected from submitted abstracts. If your work is strong, you speak — whatever your career stage.
How presentations work
Three ways your abstract can be presented
Nano-Talk
Five minutes in plenary, awarded to outstanding poster abstracts. Ten slots across the meeting — a fast way to get your poster in front of the full room.
Poster
Two full two-hour sessions with no competing talks. Poster awards are presented on the closing morning.
For trainees
Apply for a travel award while you submit
Travel awards support students and postdoctoral fellows attending the Forum, and recipients are recognized at the opening session on Sunday evening. Applications are due March 8, 2027, alongside the abstract deadline.
