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, fun environment. These sessions are typically informal and interactive with presenters and attendees on screen. They will be hosted in virtual Zoom-like rooms where presenters will share (screenshare) the “poster” and have the opportunity to present the content to attendees who join the session. (Many poster presenters choose to share a PowerPoint slide or two.) You will also be able to have resources posted on the event site.

Q: How should my virtual poster session be structured?
A:
Virtual posters will be booked in 35-minute session slots. There will be several “posters” running concurrently and attendees will have the opportunity to go from poster to poster as they wish, 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 informal, 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 this date.

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:
Please rename files to be uploaded with the session title and the resource type (examples: "NameofSession Slides" and/or "NameofSession Handout"). 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.
