Interactive Posters Go Digital!

New in 2017! CSWE is transitioning from the previous posterboard format to a digital ePoster format (60 minutes, up to four presenters). All ePosters must be submitted in advance to our ePoster vendor, ePosterboards. Deadline to submit: September 22, 2017, at 5:00 pm (ET).

View the ePoster webinar, held August 30, here.

Important: Please bring your presentation on a flash drive to APM as a backup.

How to create your ePoster/Specifications:

  • Posters must be created in Powerpoint, using one of these sample templates:
  • Only landscape presentations are accepted.
  • Slide/poster size must be 40.97" × 23.04" (16:9 ratio). 
  • Recommended font size is 28 pt or larger, so main text can be easily read.
  • Single or multiple pages/slides may be used. Average presentation size is 3–5 pages/slides. Too many pages can slow down the ability to move between pages/slides.
  • Poster presenters stand beside their posters and discuss their work one-on-one or in small groups with attendees.
  • Videos, hyperlinks, animations, and/or QR codes can be used in the ePosters.
  • Submit your ePoster. Deadline: September 22, 2017.
Additional requirements:
  • Save your ePoster file as: last name, first name, 3-digit final session number (available from the official schedule sent to each presenter in early August).
  • Limit your ePoster file to 100 MBs or less.
  • Each display area consists of a 47" flat-panel monitor, mobile stand, shelf, Mac mini with mouse device or surface touchscreen tablet, and cable connectors.
  • Presentations will be set up to advance manually using navigation buttons embedded into the presentations by our ePoster vendor.
  • Design services can be purchased, at additional cost, from our vendor.
