Posters Can Be Presented in Portable Document Format
LCBC ISIC SB, Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland
Abstract
While PDF Posters are nice for offline poster sessions, the amount of information they display most of the times is way to much to read on a screen. For Virtual poster sessions the format should be adapted and use can be made of multi page PDFs to structure ones thoughts or even interactive html presentation can be used (see Google Slides and reveal.js examples). Nevertheless you can use services like Posterdown to create Posters directly from R in a reproducible way.

Posters Can Be Presented with Interactive HTML Content
Abstract
This new format would allow interactive poster presentation making full use of web technologies such as WebGL, modern javascript or simply gifs. Another possibility is direct embedding of Jupyter notebooks which can be embedded in websites with the help of the mybinder.org service or interactive plots with altair, bokeh or plotly. Wouldn't it be cool to rerun the analysis in the poster live or try the underlying model and change the parameters? Also in the Browser it is possible to load molecular coordinates. It would be possible to make the structures used in the work directly viewable or visualize properties of the system as calculated from e.g a quantum chemistry calculation.

Slideshows Might Be More Effective Than Traditional Overloaded Posters
Abstract
Interactive PowerPoint or Google Slides presentations are entirely possible to embed in a website and allow a quick and user-friendly presentation of ones research even without coding. This format with 16:9 slide format is also twitter friendly such as demonstrated by the Photonics Online Meetup.
