I am very satisfied with how things went and the experience that the students and attendees had. From my perspective, it was the best virtual platform for ePosters.
Stress-Free Experience for Poster Presenters
Our intuitive interface makes navigation easy, preventing unnecessary stress and delays for presenters.
Presenters don’t need to wait alone at their poster, they can talk to participants and get the most out of the virtual meeting.
With the embedded laser pointer, they can explain their poster more easily while seeing their interlocutors.

We chose Fourwaves because it was user-friendly and provided an easy way to communicate with symposium attendees. We also loved the interface for virtual poster presentations - it truly helped make our event interactive for participants and greatly facilitated sharing of research.
The Best Experience for Sessions Visitors
For maximum convenience, visitors can access the event from their phone, tablet or desktop. They can search and filter the content of the poster session before, during and after the event.
With access to posters, abstracts, PowerPoints, video files and more, visitors can leave written questions or engage in live video conversations.
Judges have a reserved spot in all video rooms to evaluate presenters with our integrated reviewing form.

The virtual poster hall with video conferencing helped us keep the spirit of the event and provided the opportunity for many conversations between the participants and presenters. I received much positive feedback from both students and faculty.

Presenters have their own video conversation room where up to 12 participants can join to ask questions. Presenters can also roam freely to visit other posters. To never miss an opportunity, they get notified whenever a participant joins their poster room.
-
Materials Upload
Presenters can update their material without bothering organizers. They can upload their poster file, edit any typo in their poster title, update an author’s affiliation, and more.
For Visitors
-
Content Library
Before, during and after the event, visitors can search through all presentations. They can also apply filters to find the most relevant posters and bookmark their favorites.
-
Q&A
Poster presenters can get really busy. The Q&A section allows visitors to leave a question for a presenter even after the event. Asynchronous discussions are a great way to extend the impact of a symposium.
-
Listen Mode
When the video room is full at a poster, visitors can join in listening mode to eavesdrop and interact via the live chat. When a spot becomes available, they can join the video conversation.
Questions and answers
-
No! Presenters can make the most out of the poster session and visit other posters, start conversations, and get notified when someone comes by their poster to discuss.
-
No, we made it super easy so that you have nothing to setup. Video conversations work through our integrated video conversation tools and rooms are created automatically.
No need to create individual rooms or links for each poster. Participants never leave your event website for an optimal experience.
-
Video conversations in front of one poster can accommodate up to 12 participants. This limit does not apply to judges and presenters who have a reserved spot. We wanted to recreate those informal talks we have in front of poster boards at in-person conferences.
On top of the 12 participants in video, up to 250 participants can join in listening mode and interact via our embedded live-chat feature.
