For Poster presenters
In addition to live presentations and Q&A period, we adopt "e-poster" for poster presentation.
e-poser is a digital version of posters, and its content is exactly same as a paper version of posters which is normally displayed on the panel.
e-posters are available for audience before the meeting until the day that site is closed, and those encourage wide-ranging discussion.
Please be assured that e-posters are protected from downloading, printing, and copying.

Please read "Manual for Poster Presenters" for more details regarding how to create an e-poster and upload on the site. The manual will be available on August 18th. - Upload an e-poster.
