The information on this page is for both virtual-only and in-person poster presenters. All poster presenters are required to have a virtual poster and 15-minute audio presentation on the iPoster platform to be included in the Virtual Program online program from November 11–November 30.

About the iPoster Format

ASHA uses the iPosters virtual platform, which allows you to create interactive, multimedia presentations. These examples showcase the enhanced functionality of the iPoster platform to create an engaging poster presentation.

Example A: 6031V Positionality and Ideology in Children’s Literature: A Helpful Guide for Speech-Language Therapists

Example B: 6260V School-Based Language Therapy: The Role of Group Size

Example C: 8258V A Checklist to Guide Collaboration and Ethical Decision Making With Global Partners

This example shows a traditional PDF poster that has been uploaded to the iPosters platform.

Example D: 6195V Negative Communicative and Psychological Outcomes Linked With Concealment of Stuttering

You may also visit the iPosters gallery to see some examples of what presenters at other conferences have created.

Preparing Your iPoster 

After acceptance, we will provide all primary poster presenters (both in-person and virtual-only) with instructions for preparing and uploading their posters and then recording or uploading their 15-minute audio presentation. If you do not wish to create an interactive iPoster, you may upload a static PDF to the iPoster platform but you will still need to record the audio portion (upload the pre-recorded audio) of your presentation using the platform.

Your poster presentation must be uploaded with a complete audio recording by October 30, well in advance of the ASHA Convention. This additional lead time is needed for quality assurance testing. If your presentation is not uploaded by the deadline, or if it does not have a full 15 minutes of audio narration, we will administratively withdraw it from the program.

In-person presenters will receive additional instructions for participating in their scheduled 90-minute Q&A session onsite. (In-person poster presenters do not need to print and hang a physical poster. During their 90-minute Q&A session, they will stand next to a monitor displaying their virtual iPoster.)

Virtual poster presenters do not have any scheduled live interaction with attendees, however, you should regularly log into the iPoster platform and/or check your email for notifications between November 11–November 30 so you may answer any questions submitted by viewers.

Withdrawals

All sessions are final as accepted. We are unable to honor requests for switches to an in-person or a virtual format, changes to session format, or date and time changes for in-person sessions once the schedule has been finalized. If, for some reason, you must withdraw your presentation, please send written notification to papers@asha.org as soon as possible.

Poster presenters who fail to upload their virtual poster and audio recording by the deadline will be administratively withdrawn from the ASHA Convention program.
