Important Message to all!

The deadline to submit abstracts for Posters or Videos has just been postponed one  week.

You have until January 22 to forward abstracts that may pertain to ANY subject dealing with the upper digestive tract.

We recall below the original presentation techniques for posters applied for this Congress:
There will be no oral parallel sessions for this Conference, in order to give particular emphasis to Poster communications and Videos.
In this aim, in addition to the traditional poster exhibit, a computer "stream presentation" will be shown in a special room:

Throughout the Congress, the Poster Jury as well as the attendees will have access, at any time, to the stream presentation of any posters on the program: this consists of a computer display of up to 5 power point slides prepared by the author(s) to complete a poster with pertinent details or instructive commentaries.

Twelve Posters will be selected by the Jury, to be given in an oral presentation (5 min+2 min. discussion) during a Plenary Session scheduled for Wed., April 9  (11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m).

The authors are therefore encouraged to prepare power point slides (up to 5) to accompany each of their posters.
All abstracts must be submitted on-line.

In case of selection of their abstract, they will be asked to send the corresponding slides to the organizers, to be included in the stream presentation.
Copies of the power point slides should also be kept by the presenting author,
to be used in case of selection of the poster for oral presentation.

The Abstracts will be published in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology (Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, Publ.), the official journal of OESO.
