.We have some guidelines for impressive e-posters we wanted to share with you…
First of all, what are e-posters?
Poster presentations are mainly common at medical, academic, and scientific conferences.
Abstracts of ground-breaking studies undergo a selection process before the conference. The selected ones are showcased as an e-poster presentation to the visitors during the conference.
Traditionally, posters were printed and set on boards during conferences.
E-posters are shown today throughout the event with PosterPRO, on large HD television screens, in an interactive and user-friendly way.
An effective e-poster is a visual communications tool
An effective e-poster will help you engage colleagues in conversation. Your goal is to get your main point(s) across to as many people as possible. An effective poster:
- Is focused on a main point(s).
- Uses graphics (graphs and images) to tell the story.
- Keeps the sequence well-ordered and obvious.
The saying “less is more” is good advice to follow for an e-poster. Although you may be tempted to include every detail of your project or research, you won’t have enough space to do this. What’s more, you shouldn’t do this, as it would make your poster too cluttered.
Guidelines for impressive E-Posters
- Since we are displaying the e-Posters on large screens, only integrate high-quality graphics and images in your poster, to avoid blurry images.
- Also, only use images or graphics that are copyright-free.
- Choose your font according to the length of your abstract. It is recommended that headlines are formatted noticeably.
- Most conferences use vertical screens for the poster presentation, so it’s essential to make sure the poster is made vertically.
Technical requirements for each poster
- Poster Name – Mandatory.
