Concurrent Mini Podium Presentation Requirements

Rapid Fire paper presentations are limited to 4-5 minutes and will be timed.  Refer to the posted Scientific Program to confirm time allotted.  Refer to the Scientific Program for your exact presentation length and time.   Please go online to www.eoa-assn.org to complete the Mandatory Financial Disclosure Form, if your information needs to be updated since your abstract was submitted.   All co-authors must complete a Financial Disclosure Form in order for you to present at the meeting. It is your responsibility to have your co-authors go online to complete the form.   Disclosure information must be updated yearly. This paperwork needs to be completed, and returned along with your Annual Meeting registration form and fee on or before Friday, June 24, 2016.  Your presentation will be removed from the program if all of your co-authors do not complete the Disclosure Form by August 19th.

Please Note: Abstract Presenters are required to register for the meeting.  If you withdraw prior to two months before the meeting, you will receive a 50% refund. After two months, no refund will be available. This policy reflects the cost of changing the program prior to the meeting.

Podium presenters unable to present their abstract at the meeting can assign a substitute, but presenters can only present one 6-minute abstract presentation at the Meeting. Also, Resident Award winners are required to be present at the Annual Meeting to receive their award.

The Financial Disclosure and FDA Forms attached to your acceptance letter are not optional. The ACCME requires the Mandatory Financial Disclosure Form be completed by all authors and coauthors and returned to our office in order for you to speak at the meeting. In addition, they require that the 1st or 2nd slide of your presentation include your disclosure statement.  This slide should outline the disclosure information included on the disclosure form.

Refer to the Guidelines for Podium Presentation and Audiovisual Download Instructions for additional presentation information, both on the EOA website.  Complete meeting information along with a list of abstract presenters, poster presenters and the entire Tentative Scientific Program are all available on the EOA website.
