The posters will take place on SLACK. For this of you who have not experienced this platform before please read the instructions attached. Please upload your poster by Monday -October 19th @ 4pm. Interactions with posters and presenters can be in multiple formats. Posters can be uploaded in many file formats including .pdf and .ppt. Please be aware, as is common with many of the online formats, not only can posters be downloaded but in some cases it is recommended to help for viewing.

To maximize our interactions at the poster session we have introduced two new SCEP features.

Posters will be available for viewing on the SLACK site from Monday evening onwards. Please feel free to leave questions and comments before the start of the meeting.
