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!

 

For the second 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've used #betterposter before and are ready to make your work stand out even more, click here

 

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

Poster Prize

The Australian Pain Society will offer a prize of $500 for the best poster. The winner will be announced on the last day of the Scientific Meeting, on Wednesday 05 April 2023. Please note, only hard copy posters will be judged and considered for the prize. We encourage you to stay for the presentation.

Rapid Communication Sessions

  • Each presenter will be given 90 seconds only to speak. Presenters are allowed to use ONE PowerPoint slide only.
  • This is a fast moving session, the AV team will start to play music at 90 seconds, move onto the next presenter’s slide and drown out any presenter still speaking after this time.

These sessions are meant to be a light-hearted break in between the longer plenary talks, so have fun with it! The most memorable Rapid Communication presentations are always the ones that have taken a creative angle to their presentation.

Rapid Communication Prize

For the first time, the Australian Pain Society will offer a prize of $750 for the best Rapid Communication presentation. The winner will be announced on the last day of the Scientific Meeting, on Wednesday 05 April 2023.
