CSI Presentations

New This Year

Due to the overwhelming number of abstracts received this year we will have two types of CSI presentations:

  1. Paper + Digital CSI
  2. Digital Only CSI

For the 2025 World Congress in Berlin all CSI presenters are required to present their “Cases, Studies, and Innovations” or CSI Presentations as a poster within the congress app and recorded meeting website. CSI Presenters may choose to include a video in the congress app and recorded meeting website.

Those who are invited to the Paper + Digital option should also bring a paper poster to hang in Berlin.

Important Information for Faculty

What is a CSI Presentation

“CSI” stands for “cases, studies, and innovations”, and this presentation format was introduced at the 2020 Virtual World Congress. These presentations are selected from submitted abstracts on various topics. Each CSI presenter is required to submit a poster PDF. 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. Attendees may view the CSI presentations at their leisure once the platform opens on Oct. 14, 2025.

CSI Presentation Upload

CSI presentations should be uploaded in Cadmium using the link in your notification. Final presentation files must be uploaded by September 5, 2025. The upload file was emailed to CSI presenters.

Paper Posters

Only those speakers who have been specifically invited to present a paper poster, in addition to the digital poster, should bring a poster in size A0 [84.1 cm (w) x 118.9 com (H)], printed in a portrait orientation.

Poster Templates

Forthcoming.

Poster Design

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 PORTRAIT format and saved as a PDF file. 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.
