Session Types
Industry Symposia will run in parallel with the main scientific programme on the digital programme. These symposia are organised independently by the sponsoring companies who also select the topics and speakers which are approved by the Scientific Programme Committee.
Digital Congress Poster Display (DCPD)
Digital Congress Poster Display (former On-Site Poster Display) can be found in the e-poster section of the Digital Congress. DCPD will not be published in the EAACI Media Library and the official journal of EAACI after the Congress.
Ethics Sessions (ES)
Ethics Sessions are state of the art symposia in which the speakers critically review ethical aspects of topics related to Allergy and Clinical Immunology. The target audience consists of delegates who are primarily interested in the subject or wish to update their knowledge in the area. Ethics Sessions will be available in the Recorded Scientific Programme only.
Hot Topics (HT)
Hot Topic Sessions consist of presentations. Topics are selected close to the time of the congress, with the goal of presenting new and exciting data in a more informal format than a typical session. Hot Topic Sessions allow members to gain insight into the latest news and findings in allergy and clinical immunology.
Interactive Symposia (ISYM) and Workshops (IWS)
Interactive Workshops are sessions in which speakers share and discuss evidence and experience gathered – clinical and/or basic – in a certain field. These sessions are interactive, and the speaker addresses some frequently asked questions with regards to the topic.
Interactive Postgraduate Courses (IPGC)
Interactive Postgraduate Courses are educational sessions where the speaker addresses some frequently asked questions with regards to the topic.
Keynote Symposia (KL)
Keynote Symposia are the core of the congress activities. These are exhaustive reviews of a major subject of the specialty, addressed to all congress participants. Plenary Symposia are scheduled at “prime times” in the programme, with no crossover with other activities to enable maximum attendance.
Late-Breaking Oral Abstract Sessions (LB OAS)
The most exciting work from late-breaking abstracts submitted to the congress will be honoured with a place in these sessions. Each presenter highlights their work.
Late-Breaking Poster Discussion Sessions (LB PDS)
LB PDS can be found in the e-poster section of the Digital Congress, together with a voice-over, and available in the EAACI Media Library.
Late-Breaking Thematic Poster Sessions (LB TPS)
LB TPS can be found in the e-poster section of the Digital Congress, together with a voice-over, and available in the EAACI Media Library.
Oral Abstract Sessions (OAS)
The most exciting work from abstracts submitted to the congress will be honoured with a place in these sessions. Each presenter highlights her/his work.
Poster Discussion Sessions (PDS)
PDS can be found in the e-poster section of the Digital Congress, together with a voice-over, and available in the EAACI Media Library.
Pro & Cons (P&C)
The Pro & Con Sessions allow speakers to debate controversial topics in an attractive format which provides “food for thought”. The Pro & Con Sessions will be available in the Recorded Scientific Programme only.
Sister Society Symposia (SSS)
EAACI has collaborated with a number of sister societies to develop symposia that represent regional or scientific areas common to EAACI and the sister society. This is a chance to expand your knowledge beyond the traditional boundaries. There will be 6 live SSS and the remaining ones will be available in the Recorded Scientific Programme only.
Symposia (SYM)
Symposia are state-of-the-art educational sessions in which the speakers critically review diverse aspects of a specific topic. The target audience consists of delegates who are primarily interested in the subject or wish to update their knowledge in the area. There will be 9 live SYM and the remaining ones will be available in the Recorded Scientific Programme only.
Thematic Poster Sessions (TPS)
TPS can be found in the e-poster section of the Digital Congress, together with a voice over, and available in the EAACI Media Library.
Year in Review (YIR)
The Year in Review Sessions are complete and authoritative, focused on the highlights published during the previous year on a specific topic.
