INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLATFORM ABSTRACT PRESENTATIONS
IMPORTANT: All presentations must use electronic presentation format. Presentations can be submitted in advance via http://presentationmanagement.com/ASHG or on-site by visiting the Speaker Ready Room in advance of your presentation. All presentation files (i.e. PowerPoint) must be loaded on to the central computer system to assure their availability for your talk. Please come to the Speaker Ready-Hospitality

Each platform presentation is ten minutes in length followed by five minutes for discussion.
All presenters, including poster presenters and invited speakers are reminded that when presenting data and health information (including photos) must have informed consent compliant
