In order to maximize the impact of your presentation at the meeting, please review these guidelines:

as shown in the screenshot below:

• Starting January 31

Answering questions

Presenting authors must log in to the CadmiumCD presentation management system to view submitted

questions:

• After clicking, “Respond now” you will see a list of questions submitted and be able to answer them. You

have the opportunity to answer questions privately; however, we would prefer that answers are public so

that other attendees can view responses.

• You may edit your responses at any time if you notice something that needs correcting, and the system

will keep a tally of questions that have been answered and those that are still unanswered.

Poster Management System

The CadmiumCD speaker management system is being used to collect all content for the meeting. Poster

presenters will receive instructions on how to upload a one-page PDF of the poster, make an audio

recording of up to 5-minutes to present your research, and information regarding how to access the Q&A to

view and answer questions. Access the system here:

SMFM will provide branded templates for 2 different poster styles: the traditional scientific poster template

and an updated poster template style made popular by Mike Morrison

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RwJbhkCA58). Either option is acceptable, and authors should

adopt the provided templates to their institution’s branding or use their own template. The aspect ratio

(ratio of width to height) should be set to '16:9'. For publishing purposes, the poster upload must be a PDF file

at highest resolution possible. Many software programs that produce PDF files will refer to these high

resolution files as Press-Ready. See example below from Adobe Acrobat Pro DC:

Judging

A team of judges will review all posters, and awards will be presented for each poster session. Awards will be

announced following the meeting by general SMFM announcement (email and web posting).

Poster Presentation Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to register to present my poster?

Yes. As in past years, all meeting participants, including course faculty, presenters, and abstract authors must

register for the Scientific Sessions.

I have not received the follow-up email with access to the poster management system.

Please click here: https://www.conferenceharvester.com/harvester2/login.asp?EventKey=DOZLFUYV, click

Do I have to upload an audio presentation to accompany my poster?

No. While all presenting authors are required to complete the poster upload task and upload a poster, the

poster audio task is optional and not a requirement.

I have multiple posters in the same poster session; how will I present all of them at the same time?

The benefit of the optional presentation audio is that it allows all registrants to listen to your presentation

while viewing your poster. Onsite, your posters will be located adjacent each other so that you can present

and answer questions.

Where can I find more information about the deadlines for manuscript submission to AJOG through SMFM?
