- Number of pages (slides): one (1).

- Do not use animated effects, “animations”, and videos.
- The RCR logo or crest must not be displayed on or included in the ePoster image. Any ePoster containing the RCR logo will not be displayed or published.
- Before submitting, save your poster as a PDF file. All recent versions of PowerPoint and most other software applications allow you to save your poster as a PDF file from the "File > Save as" menu or through the "File > Print > as PDF" option. If you are unsure of how to save your poster as a PDF file, you can find more information and tutorials on our Support Center at support.scigentech.com.
