Important Information for Faculty

What is a CSI Presentation

“CSI” stands for “cases, studies, and innovations.” This presentation format was introduced at the 2020 Virtual World Congress. These presentations are selected from submitted abstracts on various topics. New for 2024: We are bringing back paper posters! Each CSI presenter is required to submit a poster PDF to be shared on the congress app and website and hang a paper poster, if attending the in-person meeting in Denver. In addition, CSI presenters have the opportunity to prepare a pre-recorded video to supplement the poster. CSI authors will populate their dedicated CSI page in the mobile app and recorded meeting website in advance of the meeting. CSI presentations will be posted to the congress mobile application and corresponding website for viewing from October 8, 2024 – February 5, 2025.

CSI Presentation Upload

CSI presentations should be uploaded in Cadmium using the link in your notification. Final presentation files must be uploaded by August 23, 2024. The upload file was emailed to CSI presenters.

Poster Presentations

Poster Template

We have provided several poster templates, based on the scientific category of your presentation. These templates should be used for the digital and print version of your poster. Your poster template has been emailed to you and may be downloaded below. If you are unsure which template to use, please email Melanie Stancampiano, ISHRS Programs Director at mstancampiano@ishrs.org.

A typical poster should contain a combination of pictures, tables, graphs, and other elements used in presentations. We have provided one template which you can use as a guideline.

While it is not mandatory you use the provided template, it is important that you summarize your research or information in a concise and attractive way. Ideally, viewers must understand the content of your poster in a matter of minutes.

Format and File Type: All Posters should be in LANDSCAPE format and saved as a PDF file. There are no required dimensions or size limit due to the virtual nature of the poster. Users will be able to download the digital poster and zoom in/out for optimal viewing.

If you want to get the best results, make sure that your poster is well-designed, logical, and consistent. When designing your poster, remember, some features in the provided template may be changed, while others are fixed.

When applicable, posters should include the number of hairs transplanted, transection rates, and the number of grafts where relevant.

Pre-Recorded Video Guidelines

  • Videos should be no more than 7 minutes long and created in landscape mode.
  • Include Objective(s), Method, Results and Conclusion when possible.
  • Include a Take Home Message in the summary at the end.
  • Have a quiet location set for the recording time to minimize background noise.
  • If possible, have your computer plugged in with a hard-wired internet connection (Cat-5).
  • Have light cast on you from the front or side. Do not be positioned in front of a window or light brighter than your front and sidelights.
  • Plug your headset into your laptop or desktop computer. If your computer does not have a microphone, please attach an external microphone via USB or 3.5mm jack.
  • Keep your microphone muted until you are ready to speak. Allow 10 seconds before speaking once unmuting yourself.
  • Allow 3 seconds prior to speaking when switching slides.
  • Ensure that the platform you are using can export the video in 1080p or higher to allow for post-recording editing if needed.
  • Depending on the program you are using, your camera may block a portion of the slide. Please review slide content prior to recording to ensure all content is in view.
