Guidelines for Preparing the Electronic Poster
The main goal of the electronic poster session is to convert the content found in a typical poster into an electronic media format. As with standard posters, the electronic version may include introduction, materials and methods, results and discussion, and conclusion sections.
General information:
· A 24” monitor will be available for each presenter which includes power and the cable
for computer connection.
· Please bring your own laptop to interface with the monitor. A laptop may be available in
the event you cannot bring one; please contact Sharon if this will be an issue.
Presentation information:
· Presentation should be in Microsoft PowerPoint format (other software formats (e.g., Prezi may be used as well).
· Breadth of information should be comparable to a typical poster.
· Each presenter will have 10 minutes for their presentation. A total of 20 minutes will be allowed which will allow for up to two screenings of your presentation.
· Presentations must be formatted to automatically progress through the slides in a sequence similar to the following (see below for setting time transitions):
Slide / Description / Time (sec)1 / Title/Presenter / 15
2 / Outline / 15
3 / Background / 60
4 / Objectives / 30
5 / Methods I / 60
6 / Methods II / 60
7 / Results I / 60
8 / Results II / 60
9 / Results III / 60
10 / Conclusions/Acknowledgements / 60
Total (min) / 08:00
· While this sequence may be adjusted slightly (# of slides and time per slide), the overall presentation must not exceed 10 minutes in total time. This will allow for a minimum of two viewings during the allotted presentation time.
· A brief (1-2 minute) Q&A period may follow each screening.
