Presentation Styles

Please note that the abstract submissions are NOT YET OPEN. They will open on December 2nd, 2025.

About our presentation styles:

1. Poster Presentation

The conference invites all presenters to prepare a poster that will be accessible for the complete duration of the conference.

The posters should be in portrait orientation, and the maximal measurements allowed for the posters will be confirmed at the latest in April 2025. 

PEACe Poster Competition

We strongly encourage all attendees to present their research in the poster sessions to gain further exposure to researchers and leaders from academic, industry and government sectors. All posters (except partner representatives) will automatically participate in the PEACe Poster Competition and you stand a chance to win a 1000 $CA (1st place) or 500 $CA (2nd place) cash prize. Posters will be judged by a panel of judges during the poster sessions.

2. Flash Presentation

The participants offered this style of presentation are expected to participate in the poster session and are given a 5-minute oral presentation slot (no questions) in a session related to their topic to captivate the audience. The flash presentation is an attention-grabbing opportunity to summarize the research presented in their poster. 

Participants applying for an oral presentation will automatically be considered for a flash presentation if they are not retained in the program for an oral presentation. Participants applying for a poster presentation can request to be or to not be considered for a flash presentation.

3. Oral Presentation

Participants who presented the best-rated abstracts will be offered an oral presentation. This format will allow strictly-timed 15-minute presentations followed by a 5-minute question period (20 minutes total).
