Painlessly manage your online presentations
We handle the painful aspects of organizing a virtual poster session, from inviting presenters, collecting abstracts and uploads, and publishing the results for visitors.
Video walkthroughs
For session organizers
From initial setup to a published session, you can be up and running in no time at all. This walkthrough goes through setup and options, adding and inviting presenters, controlling access and publishing the page. Most features can be changed at any time using the web interface, and are reflected immediately.
For poster presenters
Presenters complete the registration form to list the poster details, and provide a copy of the PDF so that visitors can zoom in and read the poster clearly while chatting. Video chat meetings can be set up by presenters using their favorite chat software. We like Zoom the best, although we have also seen pre-recorded presentations on YouTube and text-based chat.
For session visitors
When the time comes, attendees can easily browse the page and search for the topics that interest them. Presenters have a chance to talk with the visitors about their research, learn something new, and stay connected — even when we have to stay apart.
We do the hard stuff. You're in control
Handle the behind-the-scenes work necessary to pull off a successful virtual poster session, completely online.
-
Manage data collection
Invite presenters, collect and format abstracts, accept and process PDF poster uploads, manage descriptive information, and enable presenters to connect with their audience.
-
Self-service
No time-consuming back-and-forth with organizations or presenters. Send secure invitations, track responses, and manage access control and sharing details directly from a streamlined administrative interface.
-
Bring-your-own communications
We don't force a single chat platform. You and your presenters can use Zoom, Webex, Microsoft Teams, or any other provider that can provide a one-click access link. Don't want video chat? We're flexible - simply swap in pre-recorded video links, a chat room, or calendar signup for attendees to get more information.

How it works
Organize Presenters
Organizers only need to provide Name and Email address for each presenter. Presenters can bring their own video chat service to meet with visitors during the session. We like Zoom the best, although we have also seen pre-recorded presentations on YouTube and text-based chat with Discord and Slack.
Post the details
Presenters fill in their poster details and provide a poster PDF so that visitors can zoom in and read the poster clearly while chatting. On the day of the Session, visitors can browse the posters and see thumbnails easily before contacting authors. See a live example session.
Simple and Secure Sharing
We don't have fancy graphics or gimmicks to steal attention from the research being presented. Visitors do not need to register to attend any Virtual Poster Session, although password-protected listings are available! We take privacy, security, and simplicity very seriously.
