20TH ANNIVERSARY SHAKE-UP
Before submitting an abstract for AGTA 2022, please be aware that the format of our conference presentations are getting a makeover.
Think TEDx:
The format of your presentation should be in a similar style to a TED talk. The committee encourages presenters to not stand behind the lectern to present. PowerPoint presentation with minimal text and maximum visuals, and an engaging presentation.
PowerPoint = Minimum text + Maximum visuals
Presentation = Engaging

Presentation Information
Oral Presentations
Standard Oral Presentations will be allocated 15 minutes for their presentation, which includes 12 minutes for the presentation and 3 minutes for questions and answers to be held at the conclusion of the presentation. If you would like to present an Oral Presentation, please nominate this request when you submit via the Submission Portal.
Presentations which are not accepted for an oral presentation will be considered for a poster presentation.
The format of presentations will be a similar style to a TED talk; no lectern or stage, PowerPoint presentation with minimal text and maximum visuals, and an engaging presentation.
Lightning Poster Presentations
Lightning Poster Presentations will be allocated 3 minutes oral presentation time in the plenary room in addition to participating in the poster session.
A Lightning Presenter will give their ‘speed talk’ at their allocated timeslot prior the the Poster Session to give an overview of the research, giving the presenter an opportunity to showcase their work to their audience. The presenter will then participate as a presenter during the Poster Session.
Those who are submitting a poster abstract are invited to apply for this. You will be contacted with more information if your application is successful. If you would like to be considered for this presentation type please indicate your interest when submitting your abstract.
