Session Types
-
Hot Topic (HT)
Hot Topic Sessions consist of presentations followed by a discussion. 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. For onsite participants only
-
Learning Lounges (LL)
Learning Lounges allow delegates to meet in a small group with outstanding researchers and clinicians. The format is designed to facilitate informal discussions, allowing participants to present their questions and gain new insights. Short presentations will be given by faculty (10 minutes maximum), to allow participants to have ample time for interaction with the faculty member and their peers.
For onsite participants only. -
Oral Sessions (OAS)
The most exciting work from abstracts submitted to the congress will be honoured with a place in these sessions, which start with a brief introductory talk from one of the chairs. Each presenter highlights their work and answers questions from attendees.
Presented only on-site and not live streamed. -
Plenary Lecture (PL)
Plenary 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. Given the large nature, Plenary Symposia do not have allocated time for questions or discussions.
Onsite, live streamed on PAAM Hybrid Digital Platform and available On-Demand after the congress. -
Workshops (WS)
Workshops are sessions in which speakers share and discuss evidence and experience gathered – clinical, translational and/or basic – in a certain field. Live interaction with the audience is encouraged. Onsite, live streamed on PAAM Hybrid Digital Platform and available On-Demand after the congress.
