e-posters at Building Bridges III

My poster was accepted and presented at the Building Bridges III conference at the White Oaks, Niagara in April. Fanatastic venue as always. The Buidling Bridges conferences have not accepted posters before, and while there were only five it is an important communication vehicle to share best practice. The posters were displayed on 3 LCD TV screens and not in the usual print format. This was to be kinder to the environment. However, placing a 8' x 4' poster on an LCD screen makes it very difficult to read. My recommendation for the future is to limit to say 800-1000 words and use tables, graphs and phtographs to make it much more legible to be viewed on screen. The posters rotated every 5 minutes giving conference delegates long enough to read them.
