Types of Presentation
All abstracts submitted to the 14th World Conference on Lung Cancer will be reviewed anonymously by an international panel of reviewers. The presentation format for each abstract will be determined by the Scientific Programme Committee based on the content of the abstracts. The types of presentations include the following:
Oral Abstract Presentations (Oral Sessions)
This type of session includes several 10-minute presentations (8min + 2min Q+A) of abstracts representing important research findings by topic category. Presenting authors will be asked to prepare a maximum of 10 PowerPoint slides to accompany their presentation. Experts in the field (Discussants) are chosen to provide comprehensive 15-minute themed discussions of the findings from abstracts presented in that session. The duration of this type of session is 90 minutes. The best abstracts will be selected for presentation in the non-compete Plenary Session on Wednesday, 6 July 2011 as well as the Conference President's selection on Monday, 4 July from 10:30 to 12:00.
A link to submit slides online will be sent to all oral presenters in May.

Mini Oral Presentations incl. ePoster Presentation (Mini Oral Sessions)
These sessions incorporate the presentation of meritorious abstracts grouped by topic or research findings. Presenting Authors will be asked to prepare a maximum of 4 PowerPoint slides for a short 4 minute presentation in their respective Mini Oral Session. Following the author's presentation, experts in the field (Discussants) are chosen to provide themed discussions placing the abstracts in the appropriate context, with a focus on how the findings apply to clinical practice. Discussants will also be given the time to address questions to the presenting authors.
In addition authors will be invited to submit a more detailed PowerPoint Presentation of their abstract which will be displayed as an ePoster (electronic poster) throughout the Conference. Each Presenting Author will be assigned an ePoster station at a specific time on the day of their Mini Oral Session and will be asked to be available at that ePoster station to informally answer questions from Conference delegates.
A link to submit slides online for your presentation and for your ePoster will be sent to all mini oral presenters in May.
