Upload & Audio Recording Instructions:
Presenters will be notified via email when they are able to upload their poster or infographic online. All poster and infographic presenters may choose to record up to 3 minutes of audio explaining their presentation. Uploads will be open from September 1-October 13. All presenters must upload their poster or infographic to the Poster Harvester by the October 13 deadline.
Important Guidelines:
- Poster and infographic uploads must be a PDF file at the highest resolution possible. The complete poster is limited to one slide/page only.
- There is no required aspect ratio (ratio of width to height) for posters, however 16:9 is recommended.
- The minimum font size should not be smaller than 6pt. Sans-serif fonts (e.g. Arial, Calibri, etc.) are preferred.
- Audio will be recorded online to your poster. You will be able to delete and re-record audio as necessary.
- The device from which you are recording your audio will need a functioning microphone.
- If you change the poster content or layout you will need to upload the new presentation. This will replace the old presentation. You will then need to go in and start the recording process from the beginning.
- We strongly encourage you to begin the upload and audio recording process early to ensure you have plenty of time to polish your presentation and to avoid any last-minute technical issues.

Speaker Toolkit:
Participating in and enjoying ESA's Annual Meetings becomes even more enjoyable when shared with friends and colleagues. Let them know you will be there and encourage them to come too. Learn more about ways you can let others know about your symposium, talk, or poster.
Photography & Social Media:
Be clear with attendees about whether you grant permission for your poster/infographic to be photographed or shared on social media.
