Q: What is a virtual poster session?
A:
Much like in-person posters, virtual posters give participants and presenters the opportunity to share and examine problems, issues, and solutions in a casual, personal environment. These sessions are typically informal and interactive. They will be hosted in virtual Zoom rooms where presenters will share (screenshare) the “poster” and have the opportunity to present the content to attendees who join the session. You will also be able to have resources posted in the event site.

Q: How should my virtual poster session be structured?
A:
Virtual posters will be booked in 45-minute session slots. We expect attendees to join at various points of the session, so plan to structure your session in approximately 10-minute increments. We suggest you outline key talking points and be prepared to “go with the flow” as attendees hear about your topic and ask questions. These are interactive sessions, so attendees will have the option to be on camera and engage in discussion with you and fellow attendees.

If you want any session materials included in the online event platform as attendee resources (e.g., a copy of your poster, handouts), you must upload them by September 30.

Q: What format(s) are accepted for presentation materials (optional)?
A:
Q: Do you have a preferred naming convention for files, and should I include a copyright statement?
A:
All presenters should share their presentation materials prior to the annual conference. Please upload these by September 30.
Please rename files to be uploaded with the session title and the resource type (examples: "NameofSession_Slides.ppt" and/or "NameofSession_ Handout.pdf"). If you password-protect a PDF document, please make sure to enable the file to be read by a screen reader. It is our goal to make our resources easily available to those who use adaptive and assistive technology to access files over the internet.
