The good people at ePosters asked if I would write something for their blog, They asked nicely, so I said, “I’ve been meaning to write about flash talks where people pitch their posters. How about that?” They said, “Okay.” 👍 And now it’s done and up.
Please visit ePosters for “How to pitch your poster in a flashy lightning talk.”
I hope you enjoy!
A collection of notable posters (and a few presenters) and every known book devoted to academic conference posters.
Academic conference posters are often ugly, with tiny text, confusing layouts, and dubious colour schemes. This blog and book is about making posters informative and beautiful.
This blog usually updates on Thursdays.
Not the viral video. That’s #BetterPoster (singular) on social media.

Perfect timing since I've picked to do one of these in less than two weeks. And I'll definitely make sure I get a picture of me with holding Better Poster to celebrate the 4 years I've owned it!
And having just read the article, I feel very good that I had written my talk to start with the ABT method. What I learned though, was I needed to add my poster number to the my single slide that will be shown during my 3 minute talk.
