Guidelines for Electronic Poster Computer Session Presentations
 Last updated 05 May 2009

 The deadline for submitting E-posters is 15 March 2006.  This deadline will be strictly enforced!

An electronic poster (e-poster) is a poster in PowerPoint format, allowing the inclusion of movies, sounds, and other multi-media formats.  Presenters are encouraged to take advantage of the versatility of this medium.

There are two formats for e-poster presentations: 

1.  E-Poster Discussion Sessions (in regular session rooms)

2.  E-Poster Computer Sessions (in Exhibition Hall 4A next to the Technical Exhibition).


E-Poster Computer Sessions (Exhibition Hall 4A)
 
Computer E-Posters will be presented at monitors located in Exhibition Hall 4A of the Washington State Convention & Trade Center.  Your e-poster has been assigned to a particular monitor.  E-poster presentations are 30 minutes in length. 

The e-poster presentation will be similar to a traditional poster presentation. The information that formerly was seen on the 1m X 1m posterboard is now contained on six slides, with the advantage being the ability to include video, audio, etc in slides (up to the 10 MB limit for the entire presentation).

At the start of the 30 minute presentation, it is suggested to have a title slide on the screen, with the necessary introductory information. (There is no need to take up space with authors, as they will be listed on an index screen, which will be visible at all times the monitor is not actively being used .) Then as viewers talk to you about the abstract, you could move on to the other slides, as needed.

Attendees who view the poster at all times throughout the meeting will be able to see the six slides, plus whatever other features they contain.

If you have been informed that you are a candidate for a Poster Award, you will be expected to be present at your assigned monitor during the Monday poster session, in addition to your regular assigned session.

E-posters must be loaded in advance of the meeting.  Please send your poster to ISMRM by 15 March 2006.  If your presentation is not sent by 15 March 2006, it will not be available for viewing.  Please send your presentation to:  E-poster@ismrm.org

When you arrive in Seattle and receive your Program Book, please verify your program number in case there have been last minute changes.

Please adhere to the following guidelines when you submit your E-poster:

  • Because E-posters are viewed on a computer screen, they consist of individual PowerPoint slides viewed consecutively.  Each E-poster is limited to a maximum of six (6) PowerPoint slides, each of which may not exceed 8 1/2" by 11" or A4. 
  • E-posters must be submitted in PowerPoint format.  Any version of PowerPoint is allowed.  PC's will be used for E-poster display.
  • Multi-media files are limited to Quicktime, MPEG, AVI, or WMV formats.
  • The maximum file size for an E-poster (including multi-media files) is 10 megabytes.
  • Authors will not be able to edit the title and/or author information for the E-poster format before or during the meeting.  The ability to edit or replace files will not be available onsite in Seattle.

The deadline for submitting E-posters is 15 March 2006.  This deadline will be strictly enforced!
