Presentation Formats
The presentation format at AURS is poster presentation only.
(On-Site) Poster Presentation (90 minutes)
A poster presentation provides a relaxed presentation atmosphere in which the presenter uses a poster pinned to a poster board (1800mm high by 900mm wide) to illustrate their research. Presenters will often engage with interested participants on a one-to-one basis, providing excellent opportunities for networking, discussion and relationship building. The dimensions of the poster boards are fixed. Therefore, posters should be printed in portrait rather than landscape orientation.
Virtual Poster Presentation
The style of the poster is up to you. Create the poster with any software of your choosing (PowerPoint, Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Word, and Spark) and convert it into a PDF file.
Your poster will be hosted and posted on the AURS website. Please prepare your poster as a single one-page PDF file.
- We cannot accept Word, PowerPoint, JPEG, or other formats.
- Your poster PDF must be only one page.
- No larger than 10MB.
- Horizontal or vertical orientations are acceptable.
- After registering for the conference you can upload your poster via the submission system.
