Creating listings on your CV

On your CV, how does one list paper presentations/talks for conferences vs accepted abstracts for poster presentations?

For example, I went to an international conference where my abstract was accepted for a talk, rather than for a poster. From what I've heard, talks are considered fairly hefty and thus I wanted to differentiate them from regular posters.

Any idea? Examples?

Abstracts are presented at conferences and are usually published in the conference materials or associated journal (if there is one). When the "abstract" is accepted as a Poster only , it is no longer called an "Abstract" : It is just called a Poster.

- I have a Poster accepted = The Abstract IS NOT going to be part of the platform presentation. It is a Poster.
- I got an Abstract accepted = The Abstract IS going to be part of the platform presentation.

On my CV I list all papers/presentations together and in the citation say something like "podium presentation given at the X annual meeting of the society of whatever, April 2009, City, State." or "poster accepted for presentation at the X conference of whatever January 2011, City, State."

I do not distinguish between abstract and poster as above, as in my experience the policy on printing abstracts in conference materials varies by conference and because in my field ALL of these are abstracts, just some get presented as posters and others as oral presentations. Instead, I write the type of presentation -- poster, oral, round table, etc -- as I think that there is a meaningful difference between the type of presentation in terms of the importance, timeliness, scientific strength etc of your work as determined by the review committees. If I see a bunch of posters on your CV it means something different to me than seeing a bunch or oral presentations.

SO, to answer the OP's question, for me it is just a matter of past vs. future tense.

I have seen the distinction between "Oral", "Abstract" and a "Poster" presentation made quiet often and the OP is asking about abstracts and posters.

An Oral presentation does not necessarily means an Abstract Presentation because the "Oral" presentation may involve no research whatsoever and you may just be presenting a review of a specific topic or a lecture. "Abstract" indicates some type of study, research, etc.

I've been lucky and I have always been invited to give a talk. If I had posters, I would separate them out from papers.
