- Can I present my poster online?
-
- No - we have no means to facilitate online poster presentations. If you were granted a poster presentation, you will have to attend in person to present it. However, we allow for poster presenters to forego attendance in person (along with presenting their poster) and opt to only give an online flash talk/poster pitch during the session (upon registering for online element) - assuming that the session will have such element, you were offered to give a flash talk/poster pitch by your session organisers and they agreed for online flash talks/poster pitches to take place.
Also, bear in mind that usually during flash talk/poster pitch no slides are allocated to the presenter, so normally you wouldn't be allowed to show your poster in this element of the session. However, this is subject to specific session organiser's decision - so please verify with them.
