All oral poster presenters will be given 5 minutes to present their poster on a screen to an audience.

 

Virtual/Online Poster presentations

All online poster presenters will need to register for either the physical or virtual conference. 

 

All posters including those selected for oral poster presentation will be available to view on the conference app. 

All posters can also be viewed using the virtual poster boards located at the conference venue.

 

To prepare your poster

We would like people to be able to view and hear your poster.  You are therefore invited to prepare your poster in Powerpoint and also record an audio narrative to the poster (2-minutes max).  Hence we need you to upload BOTH a pdf, so people can zoom into the detail, AND an mp4 file, so people can hear your commentary.

  • Prepare your poster in Powerpoint, as a single slide, landscape orientation
  • Save
  • Export your file to pdf.  File > Export > File name [poster number]> File format pdf > Export
  • Add an audio narrative in Powerpoint.  Go to Insert > Audio > Record audio.  Save and check
  • Open your Powerpoint file and convert it to an mp4 file.   Go to File > Export > Save as a movie.  This will output an mp4 file 

 

Only mp4 files will play the audio narrative in the conference app.  Only pdf files are 'zoomable'.

To upload your posters:

  • Only the person who submitted the abstract can upload the poster (submitter).  If this is not the correct person please contact katerina.roumelioti@bpna.org.uk
  • Submitter, you must have registered for the conference before the facility to upload the poster will be available
