- Make sure to join your e-poster session 10 min before it starts. Have your PPT or PDF presentation open and share only this file with attendees.

- You will be asked to "welcome" virtual attendees to your poster while they wait in the "virtual queue". After accepting all attendees, you will be able to engage with them via your webcam if available, and by sharing your screen and displaying your presentation. 

- Attendees viewing your poster are not automatically muted. You can choose to mute them and ask for written questions only or you can let them be unmuted to ask questions by microphone.

- Keep in mind that attendees have already had a chance to view your video presentation, so take this opportunity to go into detail, rather than repeating your powerpoint from start to finish. 

- There will be two poster sessions, which will both be held twice: once at 12:00 hrs and once at 16:15 hrs, on different days. 

- Each session runs for 1 hour and you are expected to be present to talk to participants during that time. 

- There will not be individual time slots for the poster presentations, but rather delegates will be encouraged to engage with as many posters as they wish. 

- You can take short breaks when you do not have anyone waiting in the "virtual queue" for your poster.

- To end the session stop presenting and remove all your attendees. Then go back to the portal "timeline".

- Do not open two tabs of the Virtual Event Portal

2.2. PRESENTER CHECKLIST

1. Do have enough sleep the night before. Consider eating and visiting the bathroom prior to the event. Prepare a bottle of water, make sure it's on a safe distance from your laptop.
2. Have a ‘clean’ desktop. Close all applications except what you’ll need e.g. presentation slides or website pages.
3. Make sure you’re in a quiet place where there won’t be much background noise or interruptions (e.g. a ringing office phone)
4. Click on ‘View my Presentation’ 10-15 minutes before the appointed time to get set up
5. Run a check-up test of your audio levels: It is preferable to use the same setup during the entire event. It's recommended to use a headset with an integrated microphone (like this, or this) unless you’re in a completely noise-free area – the sound quality for other participants will be so much clearer that way. If you are using a wireless device, make sure it's charged. 
6. Run a check-up test of your video quality as well. Be sure to be visible and well positioned as well as illuminated properly: be sure to have a source of light (windows, bulbs etc.) in front of you or slightly from the side, try to align your face parallel to the webcam, if the laptop is too low you can place some books underneath to raise it a little, rather than tilting the screen.
7. Make sure you’re on full screen presentation mode and participants are seeing the correct view 
8. To look better on video try not to touch your face, hair. Consider limiting your gestures reasonably.
