Call for Posters
article posted 16 Apr 2014

If you plan to be a delegate at the GLASSAC14 conference we'd like to invite you to submit an ePoster.
There is no extra charge for this service, but it is open only to delegates who will be present at the conference.

ePosters will be displayed on screen rather than on the traditional display boards and will be available to all delegates in Durham throughout the conference.
More details are given in the right hand column.

To submit an ePoster, please email your file (in PowerPoint format please, or as a collection of five .jpg images) to the conference office:

ePosters
article posted 16 Apr 2014

We invite you to submit material for our ePoster session, which will run throughout the three days of the presentation programme at Durham.
Rather than the traditional cardboard panels on display boards, we plan to use a projector and screen to present the poster information on a continuous basis.

Poster material will also be available to all delegates throughout the conference via smartphones, tablets or laptops, and will be prominently advertised. ePosters are we think an ideal medium for sharing ideas and information, for stimulating useful discussion and for making contact with fellow glass enthusiasts.

The way this will work is as follows:

==> An ePoster may be submitted by any delegate who has registered (and paid) for the conference
==> Each ePoster will consist of five full-screen slides - like a short PowerPoint presentation - this corresponds to the amount of information on a traditional poster; to see examples of such ePosters please click here or here.
==> The slides will automatically be presented in sequence so that each slide remains on screen for about 15 seconds.
==> Each ePoster will be repeated three times before passing on to the next one - a total exposure time of about 4 minutes
==> Posters will be displayed continuously during the conference from 9.00am to 7.00pm each day, so displaying 160 ePoster slots per day
==> From the start of the conference the accepted ePosters will be present on the Glassac14 website using the page format you can see in these examples - please click here or here to view
==> This page design can be accessed via tablets and mobile smartphones, as well as via laptops
==> The list of ePosters being displayed will be available to delegates and each ePoster title will carry the URL of its website page, both explicitly and in Q-code format - this would allow delegates to access the e-poster of interest immediately
==> We ask each presenting author of an ePoster to make available some appropriate means of making contact - email address and/or mobile phone number, for example - interested delegates could then contact the presenting author for discussion or to arrange a meeting if desired.
==> Towards the end of the conference a links page will be put in place on the conference website to open up all the ePoster content to any interested website visitor
