Poster Format: #betterposter

 

Most conferences and ASM’s use the same, old, wall-of-text poster design. We know, we’ve been doing it too!

 

This year, the APS wants to try to improve the efficiency of the transfer of knowledge at their ASM, by encouraging authors to use the #betterposter format.

 

Traditional, wall-of-text posters make delegates search for the main finding. The aim of the #betterposter template is to make sharing the main findings of each poster easier.

 

For an interesting video that explains what a #betterposter is, please watch this video: How to create a better research poster in less time


If you choose to use this format, please note:

  • Poster’s still need to be printed in AO Portrait. To download the template please click here
  • The main colour of your poster is up to you. Colours haven’t been allocated to a certain abstract type or theme
  • QR Codes: If you choose to include one on your poster, a unique code can be made here
