Unlike standard research posters, the 1-pager is designed for quick, digital communication. It highlights 1–5 key takeaways and is meant to be read in just 1–2 minutes—making it an accessible and visually engaging way to share your work during the conference and online.
We encourage all presenters to consult the full Guide to Designing Effective Health Research Posters, which provides detailed guidance on writing clearly, structuring your content, and designing ethically and accessibly for diverse audiences.
