ePoster FAQ


Find the answer to some frequently asked questions about our ePosters.


  • Do I have to pay to display my ePoster?

    In order to present your ePoster at the International Forum, you must register and pay the full fee for the two main event days (Monday 25 July – Tuesday 26 July). This applies to all ePoster presenters. Please note there are no one-day registration options for ePoster presenters.

    The deadline for all poster presenters to register and pay to attend the International Forum is Wednesday 22 June. If you do not register and pay by this date we will regretfully assume your circumstances have changed and you no longer wish to present your work.

  • What should I do if I am unable to present my ePoster myself?

    If you cannot present your ePoster and are sending a colleague, you must inform us by email to events@bmj.com. This will ensure that we have a space for the ePoster display. Please include the full abstract title and the name, email address and organisation for your replacement presenter.

    Please note that your replacement presenter cannot be already presenting an ePoster of their own. We have a strict policy of one ePoster display per presenter.

  • Can my abstract for ePoster display be written on any topic?

    We have seven topics that you could submit to. You will be asked to choose which topic you are submitting your abstract to during the submission process. Please make sure that your abstract matches the topic you are submitting to.

    A list of topics can be found here.

  • When will my ePoster be viewed?

    All ePosters will be displayed on site during the two main event days, Monday 25 July – Tuesday 26 July. They will also be made available online.

  • How will my ePoster be displayed on-site?

    We will have a number of large screens where attendees will be able to access the ePoster platform. We will also share a link to the platform so that attendees can look at ePosters on their mobile device, tablet or desktop computer at their convenience. 

    Here is a photo of one of our ePoster screens at a previous International Forum.

    ePoster Stage sessions: You will have the opportunity to present your poster to your peers on our ePoster Stage located in the Exhibition Hall. The ePoster Stage will give you a platform to share your work with delegates during a 5 minute allocated slot. If you would like to present on the ePoster Stage, you will have the opportunity to sign-up* before the event. Further information, including how to present, will be sent to all registered ePoster presenters in due course.

    *The ePoster Stage has limited availability and slots will be allocated in order of presenters signed up. We can’t guarantee every presenter will be able to present on the Poster Stage.

  • How do I amend my ePoster or add co-author names?

    You can make final changes to your ePoster submission before the submission deadline. If you need to make a change after this please contact us.

  • Can I display the International Forum logo on my ePoster?

    The International Forum does not allow the use of BMJ, IHI, or any International Forum affiliated logos, to be displayed on ePosters at the International Forum.

  • How do I create my ePoster display?

    Our ePoster guidelines will be published in due course.

  • How do I get a letter of invitation to support my visa application?

    If a letter of invitation is required to support your visa please contact us at events@bmj.com once you have registered. We are only able to provide invitation letters to individuals who have registered and paid to attend the International Forum. If for any reason your visa application was unsuccessful, we will be able to refund your registration fee in line with our terms and conditions and upon receipt of proof of unsuccessful application.

  • Can I get an ePoster Presenter Certificate of Attendance?

    Your certificate will be sent to you via email two weeks after the event.
