Poster Stands
Image 2 provides an example of a poster space. Each poster will be labelled with its respective number (e.g., 1 in the image), as it is displayed on the conference program. The poster presenter will be standing in the private area (highlighted in grey). Within this space, you will be able to listen to the presenter, ask them questions or discuss the work they are presenting. As you approach a poster stand, you will see on the bottom of your screen a miniature detailing the major info about the poster. You can then interact with it by pressing the x button, and the poster will open full screen. |
