I am a Poster Presenter. What if I cannot attend in San Francisco?
Poster Presenters who cannot attend in San Francisco have 2 options for presenting:
- You may designate one of your co-authors to present on your behalf (see instructions below on changing the presenting author).
- You may upload a 15-minute presentation to the HRS2022 Abstract Catalog to be played at the poster pod during your designated presentation date and time. There will be no audience interaction. Connecting virtually by zoom will not be possible.
I would like to change the presenting author on my accepted abstract submission. How do I do this?
If you choose to change the Presenting Author on your abstract, it must be one of the Authors listed in the author block of the abstract. Changing the Presenting Author will cause a delay in registration processing. To change a presenting author, the first author must send a request to abstracts@HRSonline.org. Please be sure to include the following:
- Abstract 4-digit number from the abstract control number printed on your submission confirmation (example: 22-AS-5096-HRS)
- Full name and email address of the current presenting author
- Full name and email address of the new presenting author (including their disclosures)
I have changed the presenting author for my abstract. Now what happens?
Once HRS makes this change for you, the new presenting author will receive an email with an invitation to present at HRS2022. Please confirm with the new author that they have received this invitation. If they have not (sometimes these invitations go into spam), please inform abstracts@hrsonline.org.
How do I receive my abstract presenter registration discount?
The Abstract Presenter registration discount applies only to the First/Primary Author. To receive your registration discount, you must first have accepted your abstract presenter invitation. When you go to register, the registration system will automatically recognize you as an HRS2022 abstract presenter and present you with the discounted registration rate. You do not need a discount code to register.
How do I obtain a copy of my abstract submission?
To obtain a copy of your abstract submission, simply return to the HRS2022 Abstract Submission site and print your confirmation.
Do I need to bring a physical poster to San Francisco?
All HRS2022 posters will be presented digitally in San Francisco. There will be no poster boards to accommodate physical posters. If you have a poster as part of the CES YIA competition, you will also need to plan for a physical poster for display on a traditional poster board. For more information about CES YIA posters, contact ces@CardiacEPS.org.
What is the Heart Rhythm Abstract Catalog?
All presenters of HRS2022 accepted abstracts (oral abstracts and poster sessions) have the opportunity to upload their science for inclusion in the Heart Rhythm 2022 Abstract Catalog. The deadline to upload to the Heart Rhythm 2022 Abstract Catalog is April 25, 2022.
The HRS2022 Electronic Abstract Catalog Upload Portal!
Poster Session Presenters have 3 options for uploading files:
- Upload your ePoster as a PDF file with no audio. (Required). This file will be the be the default presentation onsite at your poster pod. This will also be the thumbnail graphic in the abstract catalog which learners will first see in the abstract listing. Your ePoster will remain available for viewing for one year after HRS2022 concludes.
- If you prefer to present using PowerPoint, you may upload a PowerPoint with no audio and conduct your presentation in this manner. You are still required to upload the ePoster as described in #1 above. Your PowerPoint file will remain available for viewing for one year after HRS2022 concludes.
- You may also upload a 15-minute video presentation. The accepted file format is MP4. While this file upload is optional, it is strongly encouraged. Since your poster presentation at HRS2022 will not be captured, posting a video in the abstract catalog will allow your video presentation to remain available for viewing for one year after HRS2022 concludes.
Where are the Poster Sessions located?
The poster sessions are located in the Abstract Pavilion, which is in the Moscone Center, Exhibit Hall Level, just outside the Innovative Expo Halls ABC.
What is the Abstract Pavilion?
The Abstract Pavilion is Heart Rhythm 2022's reimagined poster hall featuring 15 digital Poster Pods over the dates of the meeting: Friday, April 29 to Sunday, May 1. All posters will be digital posters at HRS2022 – there will be no physical poster boards. Attendees can move between the pods as abstract authors present during their assigned 15-minute timeslot.
How will the Abstract Pavilion be set up?
Each poster pod consists of a 60-inch TV monitor with speakers, connected to a laptop computer with an external mouse, and hard-wired internet. The laptop projects to the TV monitor. Each PC laptop has windows 10, PowerPoint 2019, and the latest adobe reader.
I am onsite and ready to present – where do I go?
When you arrive at the Abstract Pavilion, proceed to your assigned poster. Directions on how to display your science will be posted at each pod and an HRS staff member will be available in the area to assist if needed.
How will the audience hear my e-Poster/presentation?
A silent theater system will be utilized for all Abstract Pavilion presentations. Using this system, you will speak into a microphone. However, instead of being amplified into the poster area, your audio will be available for listening through each attendee’s mobile device and headphones. Attendees will scan a QR code at each poster pod to play the current audio currently playing on each pod’s channel. If you wish to enjoy other presentations, make sure you pack your headphones before coming to San Francisco!
How will I access my ePoster/presentation onsite in San Francisco?
It is important that you have your ePoster/presentation uploaded to the HRS2022 abstract catalog by April 25 so that you can access it on the laptop provided at each Poster Pod. Detailed instructions on how to access your ePoster/presentation will be posted at each Poster Pod onsite in San Francisco. An HRS staff member will also be present to assist.
ePoster/Presentation Timing
Please keep to your assigned time so as not to impact or delay your fellow presenters or the schedule for each pod. Each presenter is allotted 15 minutes total for their presentation. If your presentation time has ended and you would like to continue the conversation with your audience beyond your 15-minute time allotment, please move to one of the seating areas in the Abstract Pavilion to continue the conversation.
How do I become familiar with the Poster Pod Technology before my presentation?
If you want to get comfortable with the technology used in the Poster Pods before your presentation, come to the Abstract Pavilion during the following times where an HRS staff member will provide a demo:
- Friday, April 29: 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM
- Saturday, April 30: 8:30 AM – 9:30 AM
- Sunday, May 1: 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM
What are the guidelines for creating an ePoster?
- Create a PDF or single slide of a traditional flat board poster (no audio).
- Posters should be in landscape orientation 16:9 aspect ratio.
- Include all information from your original abstract submission on your poster. You do not need to have a specific "Abstract" section. This information can be included in other sections of your poster.
- Include disclosure information for the presenter and lead investigator in the lower right-hand corner. If you have nothing to disclose, include that information as well.
When will the Heart Rhythm Abstract Catalog become available for viewing by attendees of HRS2022?
The Heart Rhythm Abstract Catalog will become available after the embargo on all accepted HRS2022 abstracts is lifted on Thursday, April 28, 2022, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time. Your accepted abstract will also appear in the supplement to the August Heart Rhythm Journal.
I have a poster in the CES YIA Competition. Where do I get more information?
All questions regarding the CES YIA competition should be directed to ces@CardiacEPS.org.
