Poster Creation and Upload

All posters must be uploaded by April 28, 2025!

STEP 1: USE AN APPROVED POSTER TEMPLATE

You must use an approved poster template provided by AAPS. Download a template:

Template 1 PPT 

Template 2 PPT

Template 3 PPT

Template 4 PPT

Template 5 PPT

Template 6 PPT

Template 7 PPT

Template 8 PPT


Directions for using the template are written inside of it – read each section carefully! Information about font size, images, and other details are included.

All posters are presented on digital screens at the conference. Posters printed on paper are not permitted.

STEP 2: UPLOAD YOUR POSTER

You will receive an email from support@multilearning.com with a link to create your login. Make sure you enter your email address in the format “email@domain.com” while creating your login.

STEP 3: ADD AUDIO NARRATION TO YOUR POSTER

Authors are encouraged to add audio narrations to each section of their poster. This will help registrants grasp the research presented in the poster before contacting the author for additional information and discussion. We recommend you keep your narrations brief. A few seconds spent explaining the basics of what the listener is seeing will help them become engaged with your work.

After you upload your poster, AAPS will process it, which may take from a few hours to a few days, depending on the timing of your submission. You will receive an email once the poster is ready for you to add audio narration. Once you receive an email stating your poster is ready, visit this page to add narration to your poster.
