Poster Session Details

You are scheduled to present your poster for TWO HOURS on the assigned date and time noted on the 2024 poster list. On the day of your scheduled poster presentation, you must report to your assigned poster space at least 5 minutes prior to your scheduled presentation time.

The poster list with assigned poster board numbers will be available in the mobile app, and may also be found online here once the poster list is finalized in January 2024. 

This year, posters will be displayed on poster boards in the exhibit hall. You must print your poster to display on your assigned poster board.

Posters can be hung on the assigned boards starting on Monday, February 5, from 2:00-2:45 PM and will remain posted until the exhibit hall closes at 5:00 PM on Thursday, February 8. During your assigned poster session, you, or the designated presenter, must be available for the entire two (2) hour session. You are responsible for removing your poster on Thursday, February 8 at 5:00 PM. Any posters remaining after this time will be discarded.

In addition to a printed poster, all poster presenters are required to submit an electronic version of their poster, which will be available to attendees in the WORLDSymposium 2024 Mobile App and for the On Demand program attendees from February 14, 2024 until March 14, 2024.

WORLDSymposium staff will be available during all poster sessions if you need assistance onsite.

ePosters

ePosters must be uploaded using the link sent to the first author in January 2024, and submitted no later than Friday, January 26, 2024, at 7:00 PM CST. After the poster submission deadline, you will need to reach out to Amber (amber@nullworldsymposia.org) with any questions or edits to posters. 

ePosters dimensions are at least 48 inches (121.92 cm) wide and no more than 64 inches (162.56 cm) wide by 36 inches (91.44 cm) tall.

ePosters are viewed with a web-based PDF viewer that renders the PDF using the Canvas element in HTML. Although a PDF’s text and images may be vector graphics with unlimited resolution, they are rendered to a canvas that is not unlimited in resolution, especially on iOS phones. When zooming or panning the canvas is merely zoomed and panned, but the PDF is not re-rendered. This is important as to prevent lag for the user. The downside is that the PDF quality may start to appear fuzzy. You will need to set your page size correctly as shown above for optimized viewing. 

You may choose to upload an electronic version of your printed poster that does not follow the above guidelines. This may or may not display optimally in the mobile app or on the On Demand platform. 

Note: In addition to your scheduled poster presentation, ePosters will be available to all registered attendees on the WORLDSymposium Mobile App, starting Monday, February 5 at 3:00 PM PST, once the content embargo is lifted.

“Thumbnail” tiles of posters will be visible in the Mobile App; however, the actual poster PDF files will not be available to attendees until 3:00 PM PST on February 5, 2024.  

The printed posters will be visible to attendees starting at 3:00 PM PST on Monday, February 5, and will be available through Thursday, February 8, 2024, to attendees at the live meeting, during Exhibit Hall hours. ePosters will also be available in the On Demand program from February 14 – March 14, 2024, for attendees who purchased the On Demand option.
