 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

Oral presenters are required to also present a poster. This provides additional opportunities for delegates to view your research and discuss it with you!

Your abstract will be published in the Cytotherapy ISCT 2024 Abstract Supplement (available in-print at the meeting and online), and will be available through the ISCT 2024 Networking App.

Final abstract numbers are sent mid-March.

Check your inbox for an email from Vanessa Ho (vanessaho@isctglobal.org) containing information about your on-site participation, including your final abstract number (valid for your oral presentation and/or poster).

Yes, all poster presentations take place in-person at ISCT 2024 Vancouver. While presenters are encouraged to be near their poster to discuss it with delegates as often as possible, you are only required to be present at the times specified in the abstract presentation schedule (see top of page).

Please contact Vanessa Ho (vanessaho@isctglobal.org) to explain your situations and make alternate arrangements.

You will be able to access the Poster Hall to put up your poster starting at 17:00 PT on Wednesday May 29, 2024.

We understand that research progresses over time and delegates are encouraged to include new data in their poster, even if it was not available at the time of abstract submission. Please ensure the data is relevant to the research you submitted your abstract on.
