This page outlines what authors of accepted abstracts need to know to prepare their oral or poster presentation. For instructions on submitting an abstract, see the Submissions page.

Presentation Requirements

At least one author of each accepted abstract must register for the conference and deliver the presentation (oral or poster). If none of the authors can deliver the presentation, please contact info@imri2026.org with the name of an alternative presenter as soon as possible. Abstracts without a presenter at the symposium will be removed from the proceedings.

Presentation Formats

Accepted abstracts are assigned to either an oral or a poster presentation based on peer review. All presentations are given in English.

Oral Presentations

  • Time allotted: 10 minutes total — 8 minutes for the talk and 2 minutes for questions/discussion. Please respect the time limit; sessions run on a tight schedule.
  • Slide format: Prepare your presentation in .PPT/.PPTX format.
  • Slide submission: The presentation slides must be uploaded prior to the session. See instructions below.

Naming Instructions

Please name your file using the following format before uploading:

SubmissionNumber_LastName_ShortTitle.pptx

Use the presenting author’s name as listed on your abstract/submission, not the first author’s, if different.

Example:

174_King_MRI-GuidedBiopsy.pptx

Guidelines:

  • Keep the title short (3–5 words) as it is only for identification purposes
  • Use underscores instead of spaces or punctuation
  • Avoid version tags like “final,” “v2,” or “updated” in the filename (the most recent upload will be used)
  • Submit as .pptx or .ppt

Submission Method 1 (Online - Preferred)

A link to submit your presentation file will be sent to authors via email. Please use the link to upload your presentation file. There will be no need to create an account or sign in. There will be no need to enter any personal information. File uploads will be disabled by 5:00 PM UTC-4 on October 7, 2026. Any modifications after this time will need to be done on-site.

Submission Method 2 (On-Site Presentation Check)

If you miss the online submission deadline or need to update the presentation file you have already uploaded, please bring the file to the presentation check desk at The Liberty Hotel during the symposium. It will be located directly next to the registration desk. We encourage all presenters to confirm that their slides are correct at this desk before their session.

Poster Presentations

  • Display period: Posters are displayed throughout the symposium.
  • Poster session: A dedicated poster discussion session will take place on the first day of the symposium (October 8, 2026). Presenting authors are expected to be present at their poster for the full session to answer questions.
  • Size and mounting details: The poster must fit on a 36 × 48 (portrait) poster board. The A0 format (841 mm × 1189 mm) should fit in this size. The poster must be hung on the board before 12:00 PM on October 8, 2026.
