Posters play an important role in any research and teaching summit and professional event by producing fruitful exchange of ideas that stimulate interest and discussion. Unfortunately, this important interaction is typically limited to short and excessively packed sessions.

E-Poster is an interactive, online, collaborative platform for event participants, offering opportunities to share knowledge and interact prior to, and during the actual event.

Prior to your event, the E-Poster platform allows event attendees the ability to view, comment, pose questions and pre-schedule meetings with researchers in their area of interest. And very similar to the YouTube platform, the system recommends posters based on similar intersts and steering committee input. O-site, E-Posters provide an advanced, innovative solution to the “old school” approach to printed posters, creating a truly unique experience for attendees and exhibitors alike.

Unless we want to run a handful of events where people leave early and then close up shop, we need to adapt to this new group and their different needs. Events are not in danger -- but we are if we assume we can just continue with "business as usual." In Events 3.0, we are going to talk about why this danger exists, and how to turn it from a problem into a whole new way of operating.
