First Round: Authors give a timed, 3-minute presentation; then respond to questions posed by other authors and attendees in their topic group. Topic groups run concurrently until all posters have been presented once. The authors and attendees of each group will score all posters in that group. Based on the peer scoring, a First Round winner will be selected for each group.
Final Round: First Round winners will again give 3-minute presentations / 2 minutes discussion to the entire poster session audience. The assigned moderators of the First Round will score the Final Round presentations. The Final Round winner is designated the Allastair Karmody Competition winner.
