Instructions for posters
Approved abstract authors will be asked to join the conference with a printed poster for onsite presentation and provide a digital pdf-copy to be published on the website before the 24th of September. The pdf can be sent to event@mediahuset.se.
The author will be asked to bring a printed poster with a maximum height of 119 cm and width of 84 cm in order to fit the poster walls. Posters will be fixed to boards using velcro supplied onsite. The posters should be up for the entire conference and presenters are encouraged to be present by their posters during the designated poster exhibitions (see program for details). You will be able to put up your poster from 15.00 on Tuesday the 23th.
Instructions for poster presentation
3 abstracts will be selected to present on stage during one of the poster sessions. These will be assigned 5 min for presentation with a maximum of four slides, followed by a 15-minute Q&A on the main stage. Powerpoint presentations may be delivered beforehand to event@mediahuset.se or on-site at the registration desk.
Instructions for the oral abstract session
