What is a CSI Presentation
“CSI” stands for “cases, studies, and innovations” and CSI presentations have replaced traditional poster presentations. These are selected from submitted abstracts on various topics. Each CSI author has the opportunity to prepare their presentation as a pre-recorded video, poster PDF, or both. CSI Presentations will be posted to the congress app and corresponding website. Attendees may view the CSI presentations at their leisure once the platform opens on Oct. 19 and may view them until the virtual edition closes on February 21, 2024.
Presentation Types
CSI Presentations can be a pre-recorded video, a poster PDF, or both. It’s your choice how to best present your material.
CSI Presentation Upload
All CSI presenters received an email inviting them to upload their files in Cadmium. Final presentation files must be uploaded by September 1, 2023.

Poster Presentations
Those who will include a poster as part of their CSI presentation are requested to use the provided poster template.
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 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 numbers of grafts where relevant.
