If I want to do a talk, but there aren't enough slots, will I be given an opportunity to present a poster instead?

The conference is a multi-session event happening over two days with many opportunities to present. We believe we will be able to accommodate a student's first choice. However, if, for some reason, we are unable to, we will reach out to the student to determine their second choice.
