*What is an Electronic Poster or ePoster?*

An electronic poster utilises a large monitor and computer to display
multimedia versions of a poster. It gives an opportunity for a computer
savvy presenter in the poster session to more effectively convey
information that would not necessarily be possible with a traditional
printed poster. It also enhances visualisation to attract interest of
attendees. Electronic posters are intended to provide a display of
information that is not possible with a traditional printed poster.
Embedding multimedia content, along with static elements, such as titles,
logos, and summaries, would be a good way to convey information. Examples
of dynamic visual elements include videos, slide shows, animated charts or
graphs, scrolling text, or 3D rotation of a model.

The intention of an electronic poster does not include attracting visitors
to stay for a long oral, video, or slideshow presentation. Display elements
can either loop for a minute or less, or be activated and controlled by the
poster presenter on command. Remember, you are to interact with those who
are interested in your electronic poster, not give a presentation to an
audience.

*Guidelines*

1.       Please create your electronic poster using MSPowerPoint or
OpenOffice presentation software.

2.       The electronic poster can consist of 1 to 5 slides.

3.       Use animation and multimedia content to enhance your electronic
poster.

4.       Set the electronic poster up as a slide show, with slide
transitions included.

5.       It will be your own responsibility to ensure that the electronic
poster displays correctly on the day prior to the start of the Conference.
All slide shows will be pre-uploaded by the 6th of November 2012.

6.       The poster title and your name should be clearly displayed on each
slide.

7.       No audio speakers will be available.

8.       The electronic poster stations will have no connection to the
Internet. Therefore please do not embed any items that require Internet
connection.

9.     After being set up, the electronic poster should be able to loop
without any human intervention (e.g. avoid clickable hyperlinks).

10.  The final electronic poster will be subject to quality control.

Please submit your completed ePoster by 15 October 2012 by e-mailing it to:
ismith at sun.ac.za . ePosters are to be displayed throughout each day of the
Conference.
