CONCURRENT THEMED DISCUSSIONS

Themed Discussions include up to 5 select poster abstracts connected by a theme. A discussant provides a 5-minute introduction outlining the state of the topic field, and then each presenter gives a brief overview of their Poster Abstract in 5 minutes using 5 slides (recommended) to summarize the noteworthy results, conclusions, and discussion points. Discussants interact with audience members and presenters to create a discussion that synthesizes the relevant information, covers key points of agreement and controversy, and draws comparisons to related work in the scientific field. At the conclusion of a Themed Discussion, the discussant provides a 5-minute summation highlighting the key information of the Poster Abstracts discussed and posing important questions for future research.

POSTER SESSIONS

Poster Abstract Sessions comprise the majority of scientific information presented at CROI. Presenters of Poster Abstracts who attend CROI in-person will be assigned to stand at their respective boards, organized by topic, on one of the three conference days. All posters will be available for viewing throughout the conference in the poster hall and in an electronic format on the CROI website and mobile app (access is restricted to registered CROI attendees during the conference).

CONCURRENT INTERACTIVE EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS
