Poster prize winner Wei-Wen Ang with CX Abstract Board and Poster member Anna Prent
At Charing Cross 2018, abstracts were presented—across 17 sessions—on the five programme areas of CX: Acute stroke, Thoracic Aortic Abdominal Aortic, Peripheral, Venous, and Vascular Access. Additionally, throughout the symposium, delegates had the opportunity to visit the CX Poster Gallery. On Day 2 of CX 2018, 12 of these posters were presented during the lunch hour. In recognition of the large number of high-quality abstracts that CX receives each year, this year, a new category of abstracts was created—“Global Stars and Rising Stars”. The aim of this new category was to promote high-quality abstracts that were submitted by less well-known but laudable researchers from a global pool of talent.
Abstract presenters who were recognised as a “Global Star and Rising Star” were given CX Faculty status. Furthermore, their abstract will be considered as a potential topic for a future CX session. Acknowledging the high quality of all the abstracts that were submitted this year, all abstracts presenters (non-Global Stars and Rising Stars) were given CX Associated Faculty Status.
