We will have capacity for ePoster presentations over the course of the showcase.  People who submitted an abstract are being offered the opportunity to present this work as an ePoster (both those who were successful and unsuccessful in the abstract process). We will be allocating dedicated time in the program for participants to read the e-posters.  

If you would be interested in doing this, please follow the submission guidelines and submit your ePoster to engagement@cesphn.com.au by 4 July. 

ePosters are due 4 July and should be saved as a PDF or PNG, and submitted via email to engagement@cesphn.com.au.

ePosters must be in A0 size, in a vertical layout and should include your PHN logo.

• Include a couple of images or graphs for interest and to help explain concepts.
• Keep the work count below 800 and adjust the font size to as big as possible whilst still being aesthetically pleasing.
• Don’t be afraid to use colours, just ensure the text and background contrast, so the poster is easily read.
