Abstract Presentations
Share your research with colleagues from around the world. Abstracts will be presented in three ways at NUTRITION 2023:
Oral Sessions
These sessions feature the presentation of multiple abstracts organized around a common theme and highlight outstanding research representing the abstract topical areas.
Poster Theater Flash Sessions
This oral presentation format will feature flash talks followed by discussion by a poster board. Each speaker will have up to 3 minutes (and 3 slides!) to highlight major findings and other noteworthy or interesting details. After the flash talk, presenters will stand by their poster for dialogue with NUTRITION 2023 attendees.
Poster Sessions
NUTRITION 2023 will feature traditional poster sessions which offer attendees the ideal opportunity to present their own research and learn more about their peers’ science.
Abstract Track and Topical Areas
Presenting authors must select a primary track and primary topical area with which the abstract should be associated. Only one track and topical area can be selected. Please consider submitting your abstract even if you believe it does not fit precisely into one of the options available. Abstracts will be reviewed and an abstract’s track and/or topical area may be adjusted to group like abstracts together for presentation.
