Posters FAQ

We have seven topics that you could submit to. You will be asked to choose which topic you are submitting your abstract to during the submission process. Please make sure that your abstract matches the topic you are submitting to. A list of topics can be found on this page.

Yes. In order to present your poster in person at the International Forum, you must register and pay the full fee for the two main event days (Tuesday 16 – Wednesday 17 May 2023). Please note there are no one-day registration options for poster presenters.

The deadline for all poster presenters to register and pay to attend the International Forum is Wednesday, 29 March 2023. If you do not register and pay by this date we will regretfully assume your circumstances have changed and you no longer wish to present your work.

ePoster displays

We will have a number of large screens organised by topic where attendees will be able to access our ePoster platform. The platform is searchable by topic, author, or keywords. 

We will also share a link to the platform so that attendees can look at posters on their mobile device, tablet, or desktop computer at their convenience.  Here is a photo of one of our ePoster screens at a previous International Forum.

Traditional poster boards

In addition, presenters attending the International Forum in person may also choose to bring their poster along in a traditional printed format and display it on a poster board. You must let us know in advance if you wish to do this. More details will be provided when the poster results are sent in January 2023. Please note that this option is not available for online attendees. 

Poster presenters who have registered for the in-person conference will have the choice to either have their poster displayed on our electronic screens or display traditional physical posters across the two main event days (Tuesday 16 – Wednesday 17 May 2023). 

Both in person and online poster presenters will have their work displayed within a topic hub onsite. It will also be available online on our ePoster platform before, during, and after the International Forum.

All attendees are encouraged to spend time viewing the posters during lunch and breaks.

You will have the opportunity to present your poster to your peers in person on one of our Poster Stages.

The Poster Stage is a platform for discussing your work with delegates during a 5 minute allocated slot. If you would like to present on the Poster Stage, you will have the opportunity to sign-up before the event. Further information, including how to present, will be sent to all registered poster presenters in due course.

If you cannot present your poster in person, consider whether you are able to attend online first. If you are sending a colleague to Copenhagen to present your poster instead of you, you must inform us by email at events@bmj.com. This will ensure that we have a space for the poster display. Please include the full abstract title and the name, email address and organisation for your replacement presenter. Please note that your replacement presenter cannot be already presenting an poster of their own. We have a strict policy of one poster display per presenter.

You can take a look at our poster guidelines here.

You can make final changes to your poster submission before the submission deadline. If you need to make a change after this, please contact us. 

The International Forum does not allow the use of BMJ, IHI, or any International Forum affiliated logos, to be displayed on posters at the International Forum.

If a letter of invitation is required to support your visa please contact us at events@bmj.com once you have registered. We are only able to provide invitation letters to individuals who have registered and paid to attend the International Forum. If for any reason your visa application was unsuccessful, we will be able to refund your registration fee in line with our terms and conditions and upon receipt of proof of unsuccessful application.

All poster presenters will receive a certificate. It will be sent to you via email two weeks after the International Forum.
