PRESENTATION FORMATS

VIRTUAL POSTER PRESENTERS: Virtual poster presentations include the required JPG/PDF poster, as well as, an optional 5-minute video presentation. Both of these components may be exported directly from Microsoft PowerPoint. While there are no required dimensions for your poster, we suggest using the 4:3 PowerPoint slide format. If desired, poster presenters may also host office hours during which they will be available to discuss their findings with meeting attendees.
