<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:maroon">What is an Electronic Poster or ePoster?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:maroon">Guidelines</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">1.<span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span>Please create your electronic poster using MSPowerPoint or OpenOffice presentation software.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">2.<span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span>The electronic poster can consist of 1 to 5 slides.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">3.<span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span>Use animation and multimedia content to enhance your electronic poster.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">4.<span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span>Set the electronic poster up as a slide show, with slide transitions included.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">5.<span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span>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 6<sup>th</sup> of November 2012.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">6.<span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span>The poster title and your name should be clearly displayed on each slide.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">7.<span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span>No audio speakers will be available.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">8.<span style="font-size:7.0pt">
</span>The electronic poster stations will have no connection to the Internet. Therefore please do not embed any items that require Internet connection.
</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">9. After being set up, the electronic poster should be able to loop without any human intervention (e.g. avoid clickable hyperlinks).
</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt">10. The final electronic poster will be subject to quality control.</p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-18.0pt"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please submit your completed ePoster by 15 October 2012 by e-mailing it to:
<a href="mailto:ismith@sun.ac.za">ismith@sun.ac.za</a> . ePosters are to be displayed throughout each day of the Conference.
