This article focuses on the prerequisites and tips on developing a poster\/e-poster. Traditionally, scientific posters have been presented as a combination of information and graphics in print paper format. With the onset of digital technology, options such as the QR (Quick Response) code and interactive electronic posters (e-posters) are in demand by the scientific conferences.\u00a0 The digitized posters have aided an increase in the dissemination of research to a larger audience with speed and ease of use.<\/p>\n
The e-posters are similar to traditional paper posters but displayed on-site on a large LCD television screen. Hence, they are available for electronic viewing at all times for participants. A mobile device with a camera and QR code reader app can easily scan QR codes and which directs to a website where a copy of the poster can be downloaded.<\/p>\n
Poster A3 handouts are sometimes prepared as a take-home message for the delegates. Additionally, sometimes conferences ask the presenter to give a mini-slideshow (2-3 slides) on the poster, check for the requirement, and plan accordingly.<\/p>\n
