"Poster presentation" vs "poster only" in academic conference I want to submit an abstract. I have three options:


Oral presentation
Poster presentation
Poster ONLY


What is the difference between 2 and 3?
A poster presentation generally means that before the poster session you get a short (~3 min) slot to summarise your poster to the audience.

A poster session (poster only) implies that you only want to display your poster, not speak about it to the audience (you should still stand near your poster to answer people's questions about it as they walk around).
