e-Poster Session

Interactive electronic posters (e-Posters) provide an opportunity for authors to present information that may not be possible to convey with a traditional printed poster. e-Posters enhance visualisation to attract interest of attendees through the use of videos and other embedded media.

All e-poster presenters will have the opportunity to record a 3-minute audio presentation to be included with the poster.

A PDF version of e-Posters will be included in the conference app and website.

e-POSTER HIGHLIGHT SESSION

The Scientific Advisory Committee will select a number of e-Posters to profile, covering a broad selection of topics. Selected e-poster authors will have the opportunity to speak about their e-Poster for 1 minute, using one PowerPoint slide. This is a great opportunity to generate interest in your e-Poster and to present in-person at the conference in Brisbane.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR PUTTING YOUR e-POSTER TOGETHER:

e-Posters are a visual presentation of the main points of your topic and make use of graphics such maps, photographs and charts.

An e-Poster presentation is a graphic/textual way to show others your work. Therefore, your poster presentation should rely on colour, diagrams, charts and visual images to illustrate your ideas rather that presenting information in text.
Know your audience so that you can communicate to them most effectively.
A minimum of three (3) relevant visual images, charts, and/or graphs is recommended. These should be clearly labelled.
The text used must be concise, using just enough words to explain your work and the significance and impact your topic has.
Select colour combinations that are simple and pleasing to the eye. Two/three colours will unify the poster.
Lay out and organise the material to make the main message clear.
Balance the quantity of text and graphics equally and use dot points and lists to increase clarity and quantity of information.
Check typography, avoid abbreviations, acronyms and jargon.
Make illustrations simple and bold.
The display should be self-explanatory so that you are free to talk.
The text used must be concise, using just enough words to explain your work and the significance and impact your topic has for the profession.
