Title: Workshop on Intelligent Medical Data Analysis for Precision Medicine

Date: September 13th, 2024 (GMT+13)

Venue: Grafton Campus, The University of Auckland, Auckland 1023, New Zealand

How to Participate:

Poster

The workshop provides an opportunity for poster exhibition. Authors who are interested in presenting a poster, please submit your materials (prefer in .pdf) to ws_auckland@icbiomed.org before September 13, 2024.

Detailed information on your presentation date and time will be confirmed closer to the workshop. If you have any questions about your presentation or the workshop, please email ws_auckland@icbiomed.org.

Poster Presentation Guidelines

  1. Poster presentations must be prepared using the template provided:
    *Poster layout template for poster presentation (download)
    *Poster layout background (download)
  2. Posters should generally be in A1 size (width: 594mm x height: 841mm) and include the followings:

    Title, author and co-author names, and the affiliation(s) information.

    Body parts, including "Abstract", "Introduction", "Methods", "Results", "Discussion" and "Conclusions".

  3. Presenters are suggested to set the font size properly and avoid placing anything at the margin part of the poster as it will be difficult to view.
  4. Posters should be well illustrated. All the pictures used should be high quality and with high resolution.

(You can refer to the instructions for more detailed information. Additional presentation guidelines may be announced by workshop committees.)

Attend in person

If you want to attend the workshop on-site, please email ws_auckland@icbiomed.org. The workshop seats are limited. Both contributors and non-contributors who wish to participate in the workshop in person need to apply to the workshop organizers.
