Poster Sessions and E-Posters

Overview

Poster presentations need logistics that talks do not: a poster session to present in, a board number to stand at, and often a digital copy for attendees who miss the session. CompleteEvent tracks all three against each accepted poster abstract, so you can build a board list and give presenters exactly where and when to show up.

Mark an abstract as a poster

An abstract's presentation format determines whether it is a talk or a Poster. Poster abstracts are the ones that get a session and a board; everything below applies to them.

Assign posters to a session and board

1. Create one or more poster sessions — the scheduled windows when posters are staffed and viewable.
2. Assign each poster abstract to a session and give it a Board number. Unassigned posters are flagged as Unassigned so nothing is left without a spot.
3. If two posters need to swap boards, swap their numbers directly — the assignment moves with the abstract.

E-posters

Presenters can upload a digital version of their poster — an E-poster. Once uploaded, you and the attendees who have access can open it with View e-poster file, so the poster is available beyond the physical session.

What presenters see

A presenter with an accepted poster sees their assigned session and board number, and the place to upload their e-poster file, so they know where to stand and what to bring without emailing you for it.
