iPoster Information

iPoster Production Guidelines

All posters will be virtual and constructed online using an industry-leading web-based provider.

Summary of how it will work:

You will log-in to set up your personal workspace. You select a working template for your interactive iPoster from a variety of choices. WYSIWYG editing tools allow you to pick colors, backgrounds, typefaces, and more to personalize your work. You can create your presentation using texts, high-resolution images, high-definition videos, sound files, slide shows, links to external websites and more. There is no space limit – content boxes open up at the click of a button, allowing you to add as much content as you need to present your research in the detail that it deserves. Share and collaborate with co-authors.

Official Language

The official language of the meeting is English. Simultaneous interpretation will not be offered. If you do not have an adequate command of the English language, then we highly recommend that you present with a voice over.

Avoidance of Commercialism

All poster presentations must avoid commercialism.  NO TRADE NAMES SHOULD BE USED FOR DRUGS, SURGICAL TECHNIQUES, DEVICES AND/OR INSTRUMENTATION INCLUDING LASERS.  Advertising matter of any description may not be distributed, nor any material displayed which in any way directly promotes the commercial interest of any particular company, enterprise, or the exhibitor(s). Any medications or other substances referred to in the presentation material must be identified by their scientific names only.

Selling/Order Taking

No selling or order-taking is permitted, even with respect to products or services provided by non-profit enterprises. Any medications or other substances referred to in exhibit materials must be identified by their scientific names.
