Presentation design tips

  • All ePosters should be a visual presentation of your submitted abstract.
  • Presentations should be well thought out and visually appealing, with a balance of text, graphics and neutral space.
  • Make your presentation clear and clean; avoid unnecessary clutter and special effects that do not add value.
  • The movement (pathway) of the eye through the presentation should be natural (down columns and along rows).
  • Insert photos or graphics, but do not insert too many images or images without a clearly linked explanation to the topic.
  • If you are inserting figures or graphs, a short heading and legends are essential.

    • Title

  • The title slide should have the same title as in the submitted abstract and program.
  • Include the name of the presenter(s) and the institution or organisation where the work was completed, if applicable.

    • Fonts

  • Use upper and lower case for general content as the use of ALL-CAPITAL text is difficult to read
  • Avoid using a mixture of type/font styles
  • Recommended font size 44pt or larger in a sans serif font such as Tahoma or Arial.

    • Content

  • All presentations should be prepared in English
  • Avoid long sentences and large blocks of text
  • The text should be brief throughout, i.e. any description of methods should be simple and concise
  • The message should be clear and understandable without the requirement of oral explanation
  • Results should be presented as graphically as possible:
    • avoid large tables of data
    • if possible, rely on photographs, drawings and/or graphs.
  • Use the space to attract your audience for discussion, not to present complex details of methods and results
  • Avoid abbreviations, acronyms and jargon

    • Layout

  • PowerPoint landscape format
  • Use single spacing
  • Have enough blank space – too much text without breaks is overwhelming
  • Use margins around the edge of the slides and ensure that there is enough space between columns
  • Use symbols and colour

    • ePoster Templates

    Use of the template provided below is Optional. You are encouraged to use your own company templates & branding.

    FAQs

    Creating my ePoster
    • I have never created an ePoster before! What do I do?

      • Look at the example ePosters, read through the guidelines and FAQs. Think of the best way you can get your point across within the 6 slide limit. Consider embedding an audio or video recording of yourself presenting the ePoster.

    • Can I use animations and transitions in my ePoster?

      • Yes! However, we are converting from PowerPoint to HTML format - most of the PowerPoint functions are maintained during this process, but some may not be supported. Stick to basic animations and transitions or contact the help desk to see if what you want to use will work.

    • Can I upload a different version for my presentation?

      • Yes! We encourage the ePosters available on the website to use video or audio commentary - think a Zoom presentaiton. But this won't work for your presentation during the ePoster session, so you can also upload a 'session version', we would recommend removing animation, audio and video and just presenting the barebones during the session - your online ePoster will be available for anyone that wants more information or for those that missed the session.

    Uploading my ePoster
    • I have forgotten my logins! What do I do?

      • Click on the "Recover Login Details" underneath the login on the presenter home page. Input the email you registered for the Congress with. An email will be resent to this address. Check your spam and junk inboxes incase the email has been marked as spam

    • How do I know if my ePoster has uploaded successfully?

      • Our system automatically renames your file as presentation.pptx when you upload. If, after refreshing the page, you can see 'presentation.pptx' under Your Files area, you have uploaded successfully. If you don't see your file, then there has been an issue with the upload. This could be due to file size or internet connection. Try refreshing your browser and uploading again. If it's still not visible you can contact the help desk and our support staff can help with the upload. If you need to upload another version, follow the steps through again, your upload will be renamed to presention.pptx and your old files will be renamed to presention_1.pptx and so forth.

        File Upload image

    • I have uploaded my ePoster… What do I do now?

      • Make sure you have answered the post-upload questions as these pertain to how your info is displayed on the ePoster website. For example: Do you want to allow delegates to download a PDF or contact you via email or social media? If you have allowed such permissions, make sure your details are up-to-date. You can see what details we have in the system after you have logged in to your portal and navigated to ‘Update My Details’.

    • I want to upload my own PDF for download or I want to upload multiple files

      • Your portal allows for multiple uploads. So if you would like submit your own PDF version of your ePoster or you have used media in your ePoster and you need to upload the files in addition to your ePoster, please do so through the portal at the same time as your ePoster upload.

    • I uploaded my ePoster… Where's my preview!

      • We convert all the ePosters to HTML so they can be viewed on the website. Please allow up to 72hrs for your ePoster to be made available for preview. You will receive an email from us letting you know that it's ready.

    • Help! Something looks a little different!

      • Sometimes formatting shifts occur and we can definitely fix them up. Contact the help desk to let us know the issue and what slide is looking different, and we will reconvert the file for you!

    PowerPoint questions
    • How do I record audio and embed it into my ePoster?

      • You can navigate to the ‘Insert’ tab in the PowerPoint toolbar, from there click on ‘Audio’ and choose either ‘Audio on my PC’ or ‘Record Audio’. If you have already recorded your audio, browse to your file and click insert. Do not drag your file from your browser window onto the slide. If you want to record directly into the slide, choose the ’Record Audio’ option and it will start recording. Most smartphone headphones have a microphone that can also be used.

    • How do I get my video to play automatically on a slide change?

      • Click on the video you want to play automatically, then click on ‘Animations’ in the top toolbar. From here, you can click on ‘Animation Pane’ which will open up all the animations within your slide. The video will be highlighted. Use the dropdown to change the video to ‘With Previous’.
