Send an email only when you think the poster is finally ready before 10 PM Thursday 30 June, 2022.
    • Submission format: Your submission should be a PDF file. Your poster is essentially a set 6 slides finally converted it to a single PDF (i.e a 6 page PDF document).
      • It is mandatory to display the following on slide 1
        • epiSTEME 9 submission no XXXX (at the left corner)
        • Title of your Poster (same as the proceeding),
        • Name(s) of the Author(s) & affiliation(s)

      • Please include “page no” at the end of each slide
    • The poster submission file name should be in the format “epiSTEME 9 poster_XX.pdf”. This number is same as the submission no. you must have received during easychair submission of corresponding proceeding paper.

The poster corresponding to # 32 paper can be named as “epiSTEME 9 poster_32”.
    • Please note that posters will NOT be published in the conference proceeding book and are displayed only in the “poster gallery” on epiSTEME 9 website during the conference period.
    • Some notional guidelines:
      • Please use large enough font size so that the text is easily readable on screen without zooming in. Font size of <14 should be avoided.
      • Leave enough margins and do not use the entire page length to fit in extra text. Avoid reproducing lengthy paper draft as a poster. Be sensitive to the audience who may not want to read your proceeding paper during your poster session and want to get a glimpse of your work.
      • Do not use any video or animation as only static PDF will be displayed during the poster presentations.
  1. During the conference
    • As the number of posters are higher this year, we may have 2 or 3 non-overlapping poster sessions. Identify which session your poster is included once the conference schedule is available on website.
    • At the time of poster presentation session, each participant will be given 10 minutes (8 min for poster presentation +2 min Question) to present the poster. Please prepare to convey the core messege in 8 minutes.
    • There will be an additional “Question and Answer” session at the end of each poster session where audience can pose questions to individual presenter/group.
