aMuze Interactive:
The Company Behind iPosterSessions

aMuze Interactive builds technology that helps students, researchers, innovators, institutions, and organizations communicate knowledge more powerfully — at conferences and events, in classrooms and project groups, onsite and online, and increasingly in the open access publishing ecosystem.

Since 2006, we have worked with museums, scientific societies, medical associations, universities, research institutes, non-profits, and professional event teams. Our flagship platform, iPosterSessions, has grown from a solution for conference poster sessions into a broader research communication tool – one that connects live events, virtual engagement, persistent online galleries, and the growing world of preprint and open access publishing.

Building on that experience, aMuze is also developing a more standardized, self-service SaaS model designed to make interactive presentation technology accessible to schools, universities, departments, classrooms, and other knowledge-driven organizations that need powerful communication tools without the complexity of a full-service event platform.

Our Mission & Vision

Our mission is to provide an accessible, easy-to-use, powerful, and sustainable technology for organizations and individuals to communicate their ideas, interests, experiences, discoveries, and innovations — within and across communities, cultures, and continents.

Our vision is to become the global platform of choice for knowledge and mission-driven organizations that want to communicate and share research in ways that are engaging, inclusive, and built to last — beyond the event, beyond the manuscript, and beyond borders.

What We Do

To realize that mission, aMuze builds technology that helps knowledge and mission-driven organizations make research and ideas easier to create, easier to explore, and easier to keep alive over time.

Through iPosterSessions, we help our clients move beyond the limits of static paper posters and PDFs. Instead of reducing complex work to a single fixed surface, we give authors a richer way to present and explain their research – using high resolution images, high definition videos, interactive visualizations, links to live data sets and other dynamic content on other websites, narrations and other sound files, and built-in communication tools to facilitate networking.

We help organisations create more engaging research experiences.
For conferences and research events, we turn poster sessions into interactive environments that work onsite, online, and across hybrid formats. Attendees can browse, search, discuss, and revisit presentations, while authors have more room to communicate the depth, context, and relevance of their work.

We help extend the value of research beyond the event.
Research communication should not disappear when a conference ends. Persistent online galleries allow organisations to keep presentations accessible, searchable, and shareable after the event — giving authors longer-term visibility and giving institutions a lasting record of the knowledge exchanged through their programs.

We help connect research presentations to the wider publishing ecosystem.
As preprints, open access journals, and digital-first publishing reshape how research reaches the world, iPosters can serve as interactive companions to manuscripts and articles. They add a visual, explanatory layer that helps readers understand methods, results, context, and impact in ways a paper alone often cannot.

We help make interactive presentation technology more accessible to education and institutional use.
Alongside iPosterSessions, we are developing a more standardized SaaS model for schools, universities, departments, classrooms, labs, and smaller knowledge-sharing programs. This will make it easier and more affordable for institutions to use interactive presentations for student research, classroom projects, internal showcases, and recurring academic communication.

We support the people who make research communication happen.
Behind every poster session or research gallery are authors, organisers, reviewers, administrators, and attendees working under real deadlines. Our platform combines author-friendly creation tools, organiser controls, analytics, accessibility features, and responsive human support so clients can deliver polished, inclusive, and meaningful research experiences without having to manage the complexity alone.

Beyond the Conference: Research Communication in an Evolving Publishing Ecosystem

The way research is shared is changing. Open access publishing, preprint servers, digital-first journals, and the broader movement toward open science are reshaping how findings reach the world.

We have designed iPosterSessions is to be part of that evolving scholarly ecosystem — not just as a conference tool, but as a richer way to present, explain, and extend the life of research.

An iPoster can serve as an interactive companion to a manuscript on platforms like bioRxiv, arXiv, or any open access journal. Where a paper presents the argument, an iPoster brings it to life — with high resolution images, high definition videos, data visualisations, links to live data sets and other dynamic content on external websites, audio narrations, and direct dialogue between authors and readers.

This means iPosterSessions is relevant not just at the point of a conference, but also:

  • Before publication — as a multimedia front-end for preprints that engages readers and invites feedback.
  • At publication — linked via DOI to a preprint or journal article, giving readers a richer way to explore the research.
  • After publication — as a persistent, searchable, citable presentation that continues building visibility and impact.

An iPoster is not a replacement for your manuscript — it’s the presentation layer that manuscript has always deserved.

In the beginning…

aMuze Interactive began operations in 2006, creating videos, multi-projector and multimedia shows, and interactive exhibit components for museums, science centers, and corporate and mission-driven organizations – with a focus on sustainability, both social and environmental.

Our iPosterSessions platform began in 2014 with a practical challenge posed by one of clients – the Stockholm International Water Institute – to help with the research poster sessions they ran during their annual World Water Week meeting. Could a traditional paper poster session be transformed into a digital experience that was more sustainable, easier to explore, and available online after the event?

The answer was a resounding YES – the interactive poster sessions were a huge success. And over the next few years iPostersSessions became our main business – a platform that today is used by major scientific, medical, and scholarly organizations around the world — and that is now expanding into the broader ecosystem of open access research communication.

Our Core Values

Integrity
We act with honesty, transparency, and accountability in all our relationships and decisions.

Curiosity
We continually seek to understand the evolving needs of our users and the possibilities of new technology.

Accessibility and Inclusivity
We design tools that help more people create, explore, and engage with research — regardless of ability, location, or device.

Sustainability
iPosterSessions began as a way to help reduce the the environmental impact of research conferences. That commitment extends to how we build, host, and develop our platform.

Persistent Knowledge
Research should not disappear when an event ends or be confined to the pages of a journal. We help organisations and individuals keep their work discoverable, engaging, and alive — for as long as it matters.

Support as a Philosophy
Poster sessions involve tight deadlines, multiple stakeholders, and high expectations. We believe that responsive, expert support is not an add-on — it is a core part of what we deliver.
