Suggestions for Running an Effective Poster Rounds Session:
Arrive to the poster session (Salon B - LL) by 12:15pm and check-in at the poster moderator check-in table located on the exhibit hall floor (Salon CD - LL).
Pick up your clipboards, pens, and your rating scoring sheet at the staffed check-in table.
Proceed to your assigned poster area. Introduce yourself to the co-moderator.
The usual presentation order is to go from one end to the other, however, do what is convenient for you and your group.
Keep the presentations on time.
There will be up to 10 posters assigned for you to gradescore.
Presentation Each presentation is 2-5 minutes with the opportunity for you to ask 1-2 questions.
Please remind those in your area to limit side discussions so that everyone can hear the presentations.
If you have a financial relationship with an ACCME-defined ineligible company, you must disclose it verbally to the audience. All presenters must also verbally disclosure and have a disclosure statement on their poster.
After all posters have been presented, ask the presenters to wait for 3-5 a few minutes while you determine the best in category. Remind all presenters to leave their poster in place until the blue ribbon has been awarded.
Present the ribbon to best in category.
Best in category posters are left on the board (ABA staff will move them to another space for the Best in Category session.)
All other posters should be removed by the presenters during the allotted time.
Tell ABA Staff which poster is best in category. Leave rating sheets with ABA staff at table.
ABA staff will create a PPT a PowerPoint for Best in Category session and start review sheet for best of presentation (list of posters being presented; one per session).
