Virtual Poster Lounge

POGO is presenting the 2021 POGO Symposium on Childhood Cancer virtually – and that includes posters!

Poster presenters at this year’s conference will have the opportunity to showcase their research in a virtual ‘poster lounge’, with the ability to:

  • Share their screens to display a PowerPoint slide with their poster featured
  • Meet face-to-face with conference attendees who visit the poster lounge to explain their research and answer questions during designated breaks
  • Connect with conference attendees via live chat

The program has been designed to allow for ample poster viewing time:

Thursday, November 18th:

  • 9:40 am – 10:10 am – Poster Break
  • 12:40 pm – 1:10 pm – Poster Break

Friday, November 19th:

  • 10:25 am – 10:55 am – Poster Break
  • 11:55 am – 12:25 pm – Poster Break

Poster presenters must attend both days of the Symposium and represent their posters during the poster viewing breaks.

Poster Awards

POGO will award $250.00 for one outstanding abstract/poster submitted by a Fellow/Trainee in each of the following categories:

  • Nursing
  • Clinical Medicine
  • Medical Sciences
  • Behavioural Discipline

Oral Presentation

Eight abstracts will be selected to present on the Symposium main stage; each presenter will have three minutes to summarize their poster in one PowerPoint slide (no animations or special effects will be allowed). These presentations will be pre-recorded the week before the Symposium. A multi-disciplinary selection committee will select the strongest abstracts to take part in this timed session.  If you do not wish your abstract to be considered for oral presentation, you can indicate this at the time of submission.
