This year we are offering submitters the opportunity to submit a video presentation. The video presentation will be made available to view online.
The video presentation should be no more than 3 slides and 3 minutes long. These presentations will be used to also determine the five finalists for the abstract final on the main stage.
Video presentations should be sent to admin@ebpom.org who will upload the video to their YouTube page and relevant playlist. A link to the videos will be provided on the EBPOM website.
Videos should be:
You are only allowed to submit one video per abstract.
The video should be set for HD format (720p or 1080p) and saved as MPEG-4 (.mp4) file using the word WC or Ireland and your last name as the file name. For example: “WC – Hayden” this allows EBPOM Admin to match the video with the submitter. If you submit your video with a different saved title it will be rejected and you will be asked to resubmit.
Any work is acceptable which has not been published in a Peer Reviewed Journal by the abstract submission deadline date.
If you require extra help on how to record a video, please refer to the Filming your presentation for EBPOM PDF on the abstract submission page on www.ebpom.org
If you are invited to present your abstract, acceptance of this invitation explicitly includes acceptance that the presentation of your abstract will be made available in recorded form in a manner which will be publicly discoverable on the internet.
Your abstract will also be featured in the relevant playlist after the event, which will be available to view on the EBPOM website.
Any work (audits, best practice, case reports etc) is acceptable but must not have been published in a Peer Reviewed Journal by the abstract submission deadline date.
Your results must include a summary with appropriate data. The most common cause of rejection in the first instance is not enough data being included.
If you have any questions, please email us on admin@ebpom.org
