Submission of Abstracts
Initially delegates are invited to submit their poster abstracts electronically by Friday 1 November 2024.
All abstracts will be assessed by the Conference Organising Committee and the 60 that are judged to be the best based on the abstract submission will be put forward to be displayed at the Conference.
Poster PDF Submission
After 16 December 2024, BAOS will then contact the authors of the 60 abstracts that are due to be displayed at the Conference and ask them to produce a PDF of their poster which needs to be submitted electronically by 10 February 2025. These 60 PDF posters will be assessed by the Conference Organising Committee, and the best 18 will be put forward for the prize Competition.
All 60 selected posters that are on display at the Conference, will have their abstracts published within the BAOS Oral Surgery Journal, normally the following year.
The lead authors of the 18 selected posters will be asked to present their posters for judging during the Conference. They will be given a 3-minute time slot and will have to stand by their poster and present their work and answer any questions the judges have for them. Following this, the judges will make a final decision as to which posters will be awarded prizes.
Flow Chart of New Process for Poster Submission
Winners of Competition
The Winners of both the Open Paper and Poster Competition will be announced at the Award Ceremony at the Annual Dinner on Thursday evening, 3 April 2025.
