click on the following link for more details: www.epilepsiacartagena2010.org

Can I include videos beside my poster?
AV equipment is not provided by the congress. Should you wish
to order any specific equipment to complement your poster, please
contact the congress secretariat in order to receive a quotation.
How can I make my poster more attractive?
Please note that the colourful posters are more effective and
attractive.
When choosing a background, remember that neutral or grey colours
will be easier on the eyes than a bright colour. Colour photos
also look best when mounted on a grey background.
I have been selected for a platform session but I would have
preferred a poster presentation, what can I do?
The SAC has selected your work to be presented in a platform session
because they felt that it was of high quality and that a large
audience would be interested in knowing more about the study.
It would be a shame not to use this opportunity to present your
work!
However if you are unable to make an oral presentation please
contact the secretariat at abstracts@epilepsycongress.org for
alternative arrangements.
