Presenting your #RSCPosterPitch
Traditional conferences usually offer the opportunity to talk through your work with judges, explaining its importance and showing why it’s exciting. At a virtual poster conference, there is no face-to-face interaction – and making yourself and your work stand out can be tricky. With this in mind, we wanted to provide a more immersive virtual experience with our LinkedIn conference. In 2023, around 60 of you decided to share your research in the #RSCPosterPitch.
We’re encouraging all our poster presenters to upload a 1–2 minute video pitch highlighting the importance of the research behind their poster – just like you would at a physical conference. Creativity is encouraged; for example, we welcome songs, animations, and any other presentation style you can think of. All that matters is that your passion for your poster shines through.
Key points:
- Short 1–2 minute video to accompany a poster
- Highlights the importance of the work
- The actual content of the video can take any form – creativity is encouraged
- Fancy cameras are not needed – just make sure the sound quality is good enough for listeners to hear
- These are not replacements for video posters, so feel free to enter a video poster with or without an accompanying pitch
- Add your #RSCPosterPitch video as a comment on your #RSCPoster post
- If you’re able to add subtitles you’ll make your video even more accessible.
