Abstract Driven Sessions
The abstract driven sessions will be complemented by non abstract sessions and skills building workshops.
Oral Abstract Sessions
The XV International AIDS Conference program will feature abstract driven sessions of track-specific, peer-reviewed abstracts. Abstract submissions will be scored by a panel of reviewers and ultimately selected by the program committee. Speakers will be allowed a ten-minute presentation followed by a five-minute discussion. Questions from the audience will be encouraged and facilitated by the session chair. Please refer to the section on Abstract Submission and the Abstract Submission Form for more information.
Each track will have at least three abstract sessions each day. The oral abstracts sessions will be organised into themes and deal with new developments in each of the tracks.
Late Breakers
The Conference requires that abstracts be submitted several months in advance. However, it is important to provide an opportunity during the Conference for presentation of any important “late breaking” research. Time for “late breakers” has been scheduled for the last day of the Conference. Competition for the limited number of slots available is expected to be quite heavy. Therefore, the regular abstract deadline should be kept, if at all possible.
Oral presentation of late breaker abstracts will last seven minutes each with three minutes allocated for questions. The submission for late breakers will be open from 3 May to 26 May, 2004 and may only be done via the Conference website.
Poster Viewing Sessions
The Poster Sessions will be generated from peer-reviewed abstracts and will cover a wide variety of topics organised by track. Posters will be displayed from 10.00 to 18.00 from Monday to Thursday, and changed daily. Presenters will be at their posters between 12.00 and 14.00 to answer questions and provide further information on their study results.
Poster Presentation Sessions
A small number of the top posters per track will be selected to be presented orally during the Poster Viewing Sessions. Presentations will be three minutes each and will be chaired to facilitate audience discussion.
Please refer to the section on Abstract Submission and the Abstract Submission Form for more information.
