This can be done by either emailing your talk to stats-geomed@glasgow.ac.uk before the conference begins, or by bringing your talk to the registration desk on a pen drive where we will upload it onto a laptop for you. Please name the PDF file of your talk with your name in the format firstname surname.pdf.

 

Poster instructions

Poster boards will be available in the atrium of the Wolfson Medical School building, and the poster sessions will be during the afternoon coffee break every day of the conference. Note, you will only display your poster at one of the three poster sessions, due to the number of posters being displayed. A list of which posters are in which session can be found in the scientific programme. Please make sure your posters are displayed by the lunch break on the day of your poster session, and are removed by the end of the day.
