The Difference Between Oral and Poster Presentations at the 41st International Symposium on Combustion
With presentation format notifications finalized, we want to clarify that oral and poster sessions are designed as two different but equally valued formats for presenting your work at the 41st International Symposium on Combustion.
Poster presentation sessions are dedicated forums where researchers, practitioners, and students showcase their work in an interactive, visual format. These sessions will be held independently from oral and concurrent sessions, at a time when no other presentations or meetings are scheduled. They will immediately follow the Plenary Lectures on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The poster sessions play a vital role in the conference experience, offering a space for deeper conversation, immediate feedback, and one-on-one engagement. Poster sessions provide a unique opportunity for attendees to explore cutting-edge ideas at their own pace, meet presenters directly, and engage in meaningful dialogue in a setting designed to promote communication and interaction.
Oral presentations are organized in concurrent parallel sessions, that will take place after lunch every day but Wednesday, in rooms spatially distributed in the venue. Authors will have approximately 20 minutes to deliver a podium based presentation, address questions, and switch to the next talk. The target audience will likely be experts in a particular topic and real-time in-depth discussion will be limited due to the strict presentation schedule.
The Program Co-Chairs have designed a technical program taking multiple factors into consideration. In determining presentation format, among other things the PCCs considered author preference, CCC and LCC feedback, total presentation slots available, and the best format in relation to interaction and the other accepted presentations. The presentation format decisions are final and must be followed to maintain the balance and design of the Symposium.
