PDF POSTER
Conference Design will email the submitting author requesting the following information.
- Presenting Author Name
- Presenting Author Biography
- Presenting Author Email Address
The presenting authors will be set up with appropriate presenter access to the OnAIR conference portal, with biographies included in the session information tab.
Note only presenting authors will have presenter access in the OnAIR Conference portal. Other authors who may register for the conference will have delegate access.
Presenting authors are required to register under the relevant presenter category and pay the applicable registration fee.
A Poster is a visual medium that you use to communicate a key idea related to your research. It presents that idea in a verbal and graphic way. Unlike an oral presentation, a poster does (most) of your talking – but the great thing about the OnAIR portal is that you too can present and discuss your poster like never before!
Posters will be available for viewing for the duration of the conference in the Accepted Paper Gallery. Posters will also be made available to be viewed prior to the conference and after the conference in the online platform.
There are several advantages to presenting a poster:
- All poster presenters will have the opportunity to participate in Live Paper Discussion sessions. These sessions are built to be a collaborative conversation and presentation similar to a poster presentation at a face to face conference.
- Posters can be viewed at any time. Your Poster will be available for viewing throughout the conference in the dedicated Accepted Paper Gallery. These will be available to be viewed prior to the conference and after the conference through the online platform.
- Viewers can “absorb” the presentation in their own time/way.
- During Live Paper Discussion Sessions, you can discuss your research with the viewers – delegates will request to join your poster presentation and you will be able to manually add in up to 50 delegates to present to.
- You are not limited to how many times you present your poster, as long as it is within the dedicated Live Paper Discussion Session e.g. the Live Paper Discussion Session goes for an hour you can do a 10-minute presentation/discussion/Q&A six times depending how many people are in your queue.
- You have the option to provide handouts.
- You have access to live (text) Q&A.
- You have access to a discussion forum – between yourself, delegates and those waiting in your queue.
- You have access to the ‘networking hub’ to connect with your viewers.
The layout of your Poster is at your discretion, however, brevity and clarity are the essence of a good Poster.
The aim of Posters is to display your project or an idea in a concise form, enabling delegates to grasp the essentials of the subject in a short time frame.
Posters must be in PDF FORMAT – PORTRAIT, A0 SIZE (W = 841mm X H = 1189mm)
A0 (W = 841mm X H = 1189mm) portrait poster in PDF.
Your Poster should be less than 20MB.
It is critical you check your Poster on a computer other than the one you used to create the Poster. This allows you to check graphics and the layout and fonts transfer as you want.
Posters will be uploaded as received. Please ensure you fully proof your Poster before submitting it.
Presenters are required to upload their Poster PDF as a single via DropBox no later than Friday 13 November.
