| Feb 3, 2013 at 18:55 | comment | added | Tomas | This is the most useful answer. My final solution was exactly that: not writing about results, just talking about the hypotheses, why they are so much interesting and how this study helps to finally shed light on them! I registered it as a talk, not poster... let's see! | |

I've seen more than a few people simply get up and say "Things have moved on since I submitted the abstract for this talk, and what I'm really going to talk about is <new abstract>". The audience understands the problem with abstract deadlines perfectly well. | |

| Jan 24, 2013 at 19:54 | comment | added | silvado | @JeffE, I agree with being careful, but the internet won't usually join the conference to see the poster or oral presentation. | |

| Jan 24, 2013 at 11:02 | comment | added | Tomas | Thank you. As for point 2. In the link I posted they justify bait-n-switch a lot, arguing that people won't remember. I wouldn't be afraid of that. The problem is that I have only small portion (like 1/8) of final results. I'm afraid that reporting this small subset of results would make it even more apparent that results are missing or cause people to think "..and that's all?" | |
