We are excited to report the return of Science SpotlightsTM for posters at CROI 2025. In addition to poster walks, PC Poster Picks, and themed discussions, Science SpotlightTM serve to highlight and elevate poster presentations as presenters engage with CROI attendees. Historically, some of the most important science at CROI has been presented in poster sessions.
What are Science SpotlightsTM: Presenters create a 2- to 3-minute video with audio narration that focuses on the research question, methodology, and key findings of the poster presentation. Other details include:
- Spotlights are Optional: They can draw attention to presentation but are not required to present a poster at CROI
- Complex Presentations are Not Necessary. The video can be as simple as a view of the poster or highlighted segments of the poster. The key contribution is the presenter’s narrative introduction of the study
- Access at the Conference: Attendees can access the Spotlight via the CROI Webcast site or Mobile App at any point during the conference to help prepare them for engagement with the presenter during the poster session
- An Enduring Resource: The Science Spotlight is a permanent resource that can be accessed by the public after CROI through the Abstract and ePoster Database
