The ANPT Annual Conference Program Committee is excited to launch a new approach to poster presentations through the use of #betterposter and traditional posters.

Poster sessions, which often attempt to communicate nearly 50 new findings in less than an hour, represent an opportunity for efficient, mass learning. However, most poster sessions fall far short of this goal, by crowding too much text on the poster.  The #betterposter layout incorporates empirically derived principles from the field of User Experience Design (UX) to better communicate scientific findings.  This layout maximizes the amount of information provided to attendees walking by, while minimizing interaction cost in accordance with best practices in UX design and theories explaining how people browse and consume information.  The key is ensuring that your poster is visually appealing and eye-catching, identifies evidence based critical takeaways, and translates findings in a creative meaningful way. 

To help guide those choosing to present using the #betterposter format we’ve even created our own ANPT Annual Conference template and suggest viewing the YouTube video link here for further insight.

There is a $50 submission fee. All poster submissions will be reviewed by the Annual Conference Poster Review Committee. Meeting registration, travel and hotel accommodations are the presenter's responsibility.  Authors will be notified of the status of their submission by the end of April 2024.
