WHAT

Interactive ePoster - created with a pdf of your poster and an .mp4 video file that you create! The short video recording will give attendees additional information about your research that may not be apparent on your poster. The interactive ePoster will highlight different sections of your poster, making the important details front and center for the attendee.

Non-interactive ePoster - a pdf of your poster available on the meeting app - giving attendees the opportunity to view your research throughout the entire meeting, and can then easily contact you via the app's messaging tool to answer questions and collaborate!

 

WHO

All poster presenters are given the opportunity to create an ePoster. And ALL attendees have access to viewing the ePosters throughout the meeting. If someone isn't able to stop by a poster on the day they are up on the boards, they can easily be accessed virtually!

 

WHERE

There will be an ePoster Kiosk onsite in Denver that will give access to the fully interactive ePosters.  The Cereals & Grains 19 website will also have the fully interactive ePosters available for viewing. The non-interactive ePosters will be accessible in the meeting app.

 

HOW

Each Cereals & Grains 19 Poster Presenter will receive an email with a unique upload link the week of September 16.
*ePosters must be created and finalized by October 28. Any ePosters submitted after this date will be available on the app and Cereals & Grains 19 website, but not on the ePoster kiosk.
