Further the reach of your research: In-person presenters should upload their poster to the virtual platform one-page PDF of their poster, along with an optional five-minute video explaining the information. Virtual attendees will view your poster online. This is a great way to expand the audience viewing your research.

To upload your poster, log into the Speaker Console, find your poster and upload the PDF to the documents section.
