Note
If circumstances prevent you from making your presentation, you must arrange for a substitute to present your paper.  Presenters are expected to discuss their work with scientists visiting their poster display particularly during the coffee breaks of the conference.
It is advisable to check the invited speakers list and the program prior to the conference so you may be able to contact the speaker in your relevant field and invite them to visit your poster and discuss your results.
