The posters at the International Forum
How will others view my poster in Brisbane?
All posters will be displayed as digital ePosters on screens at the venue. This allows attendees to scroll through a gallery of visually stimulating quality and improvement articles and view posters by topic, keywords and authors.
All ePosters will also be made available via our online ePoster platform, accessible for all attendees before, during and after the conference.
Activities for poster presenters
Oral presentations – Poster authors will be able to sign up to present their poster project to peers on one of our Poster Stages during a 5-minute allocated slot. These sessions will take place during breaks to ensure you don’t miss out on any of the main programme. Further information, including how to sign up and present, will be sent to all registered poster authors in due course.
Poster showcase – A number of poster authors who have delivered an oral presentation, will be invited to present their project on the main plenary stage on Friday afternoon. The audience will vote for the winning project. All participants will receive a special certificate.
Online poster presentations – Poster presenters attending online will have the opportunity to present their work to peers by submitting a 5-minute recorded presentation. This presentation will be displayed on the virtual platform on either Thursday or Friday of the conference. Live Q&A chat with other online attendees about your project will also be available.
Welcome Reception and Poster Exhibition – Be ready to showcase your work to fellow attendees by standing next to the ePoster screens at our evening drinks reception.
Poster presenter meet up and orientation – Join us to find out more about the posters and activities taking place throughout the conference (date TBC). This will be an opportunity to connect with other poster presenters within your submission topic.

Poster topics
Our programme theme in Brisbane will be Pushing boundaries.
This theme will recognise many aspects and perspectives of initiating change and moving away from the comfort of what we know, while prioritising the wellbeing of individuals and communities, the planet, and healthcare systems.
In the spirit of our programme theme, we want to hear about projects that drive change. Both our programme and the posters will be structured around five content streams. As such, we would like to hear about projects and initiatives that show impactful results under these streams.
