Oral Presentations
Oral presentations are the core component of the 44th ISTS Symposium and provide a structured platform for students, researchers, conservationists, and policymakers to share groundbreaking studies, innovative conservation strategies, and critical insights into sea turtle biology and ecology. Each speaker is allocated a designated 12 minute timeslot, followed by a brief Q&A session where attendees can engage with presenters to discuss methodologies, findings, and implications. The 44th ISTS Symposium will consist of two concurrent oral presentation sessions occurring during four of the seven days of the conference timeframe. If you are interested in giving an oral presentation, be sure to submit your abstract on time and choose the “prefer oral” presentation option during registration.

Poster presentations serve as another vital avenue to share research and promote knowledge exchange during the 44th ISTS Symposium, complementing oral sessions over the course of four days. Posters are displayed in a dedicated exhibition area, where authors present their work, including key methods and findings. Unlike oral presentations, poster sessions allow for informal, one-on-one discussions, providing deep engagement opportunities on the specific research topics being shared. Presenters are sometimes scheduled to stand by their posters during designated times to interact with symposium participants, answering questions and fostering collaborative discussions.
There will be no designated timeslots for poster authors to stand by their posters for the 44th ISTS Symposium, so please be sure to include your contact details on on your poster (a QR code to you contact details is acceptable),
