POSTER PRESENTATION FORMATTING GUIDELINES

The following formatting instructions are for participants who were accepted to ST&D 2020 as poster presentations. Poster presentations should be uploaded by 11:59 PM EST on July 13, 2020.

 

FORMATTING POSTER PRESENTATIONS IN FLIPGRID

Poster presenters may select one of two presentation format options, listed below:

  • Flash Presentation: This format is structured as an extremely brief presentation, and should be limited to a 5-slide presentation with spoken audio (similar to the Sample Flipgrid Presentation but shorter) as detailed below:
    1. Title slide
    2. Study Goals slide
    3. Summary of methods slide
    4. Summary of results slide
    5. Conclusion slide
  • Traditional Poster Walkthrough: This format is structured around a traditional poster file. The author will need to create a PDF of a poster file and then zoom into relevant sections during the 3-minute Flipgrid recording. Given the limitations of this format, we strongly recommend the Flash Presentation option to all authors.
