28 July 2011 Las Vegas-ADCOM 5 ANIMMA 2011 INTERESTINGLY, Posters replaced by ‘Oral Intensive’ Sessions ie a lot of small side sessions - quite sucessful -

28 July 2011 Las Vegas-ADCOM 6 ANIMMA 2011 ‘Intensive Orals’ Idea imported from some european medical congress –Active presentations replace ‘ poster sessions ’ Large A0 flat panel touch screen monitor (up to 7 in paralllel lounges) –with WiFi preloaded Powerpoint presentations database –15 seats for the audience –15’ + 5’minutes per presentation/discussion 29 sessions in total with 3 to 4 presentation each Possibility of ‘replay’ sessions & have free access Conclusion of this first experience: –Very well attended with lively discussions - sometime overcrowded –Participants like it even if the screen was too small and the layout of the sessions lounges not fully adequat (some interferences between sessions in the same large room)
