This article walks you through the differences between a traditional print poster presentation and the dynamic potential of digital or e-posters. Abstract: "Background: Posters are an integral part of academic conferences, but have limitations. e-Posters offer a new way to overcome these limitations, but their potential is largely under-utilised because of misconceptions regarding their design, creation and use at conferences. Aim and Method: By drawing on literature and our own experience of creating and judging e-posters, we aim to present some ideas for e-poster designers so that they can fully utilise the potential of this new medium. Results: We present ideas that begin with conceptual considerations and then move to practical applications (including technical suggestions) for designing, creating, and presenting effective e-posters. Conclusions: In the not-too-distant future, we believe that e-posters will evolve to become the standard poster format, and these ideas will assist in the presentation of research at conferences through this format."

From ISU's Honor's Program, this 1-page PDF provides helpful tips for anyone preparing a poster for presentation. While there is mention of printing or poster board, ways to format important information and the ways information should be presented are relevant to both digital and print poster presentation formats.
