What’s next for Science?

 

At a time when the validity of scientific research is being questioned, and science itself being turned into an ideological issue, it is an honor to be providing our iPoster technology to the world’s largest gathering of Earth and Space scientists: the 2024 American Geophysical Union annual meeting in Washington DC.

Over 25,000 scientists, educators, policymakers, journalists, and communicators, from over 100 countries are gathered here to better understand our planet and environment – to open pathways to discovery, create greater awareness to address climate change, facilitate collaborations that lead to solutions, and to make the fields and professions of science accessible, diverse, and inclusive.

This is our 8th year working with AGU, and our biggest yet: over 9,000 professional and student researchers are presenting their work on our iPoster Platform. 4 daily eLightning sessions in 6 eLightning theaters, running concurrently. A lot of energy and a lot of great science. We’re looking forward to starting work on AGU25 in New Orleans.

ELEVATE!


The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) annual Convention is one of the largest professional development events in the field. Participants include audiologists; speech-language pathologists; speech, language, and hearing scientists; and speech-language pathology and audiology assistants. The Convention theme – “ELEVATE!” – reflects the goal that this year’s program will provide  the tools, strategies, and motivation they will need to elevate their practices and research across all aspects of speech, language, and hearing sciences.

The Annual Convention brings together approximately 15,000 attendees and offers more than 2,500 sessions, covering the latest research, clinical skills, and techniques in communication sciences and disorders.  Over 1,000 iPoster presentations were created.


iPoster authors earn CE Credits for either on-demand virtual-only presentations or 90-minute in-person presentations with Q&A’s.  To earn the credits, authors were required to to include 15 minute recorded narrations with AI transcripts, or video presentations with AI captions. Over 250 hours of this multimedia content are stored on our cloud servers. Content is streamed to both the conference venue in Seattle, and to virtual attendees around the world, during and after the meeting. The iPosters are available on any internet-connected device.

Accessibility is, of course, another key concern of ASHA. In addition to narrations, transcripts, and alt-text – we provide our ADA– and WCAG-compliant accessibility widget. It gives attendees full control over color, contrast, font size, line-spacing and other screen attributes in order to make the science and innovations available to all. Like ASHA, we are committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments for learning, sharing and career advancement. Read more about our commitments to accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion HERE.

We look forward to working with ASHA again on their 2025 Convention in November at the Washington DC Convention Center.

Responsible Space for Sustainability


Sustainability is probably not the first thing that pops into mind when you think about outer space exploration. But the 2024 International Astronautical Congress (IAC) made sustainability its main theme. In fact, Responsible Space for Sustainability refers to two different, and very important, aspects of the world’s space programs:

  • the development of networked earth observation satellites and technologies to measure and monitor climate change and other environmental issues.
  • the fostering of responsible practices for the sustainable exploration of outer space, including traffic management, planetary protection, as well as emerging technologies for spacecraft end-of-life, green fuels and closed-loop systems.

The Congress is organized annually by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), with which we have been working since 2019 on both their annual congresses and their smaller, thematic meetings . They have taken us to Washington DC, Dubai, Paris, Baku, and now to this year’s Congress, their 75th and largest ever, in Milan, with more than 11,200 delegates from 120 countries.

 Responsible Space for Sustainability featured over 1,700 poster presentations on 90 interactive touch screens. Authors were able to book their own presentation times and screens during the relevant topical sessions, using the built-in online booking platform we developed especially for IAF. The iPoster presentation Gallery for this and other IAF meetings are available online on any internet connected device, anywhere.

IAF is an international space advocacy organization based in Paris. It was founded in 1951 as a non-governmental organization to establish a dialogue between scientists around the world and to lay the foundation for international space cooperation. Members include space agencies, companies, universities, professional associations, museums, government organizations and learned societies.

We look forward to working with IAF on their upcoming Global Space Exploration Conference (GLEX2025) in New Delhi in June 2025, and the next IAC in Sydney in October.

K-INBRE 2024

Some fantastic looking iPosters and lively presentations showcased at the 2024 K-INBRE Symposium A.K.A. The Kansas Idea Network of Biomedical Research Excellence. The conference provides an opportunity for Kansas based scientists and students to present their research side-by-side, helping to foster networking and future collaboration. The symposium delivers a genuine conference experience to students who might not have participated in a significant scientific event before.

AGU Fall Meeting 2023

This year’s Fall Meeting was held in December 2023 in San Francisco and included a virtual component that took place in January 2024. There were over 8000 iPosters and PDF+ eposters created for the event.

FM23 was an extra special collaboration for us as we worked closely with AGU staff to develop a platform for the management of the Outstanding Student Presentation Awards (OSPA). This initiative is designed to recognize and encourage exemplary research and presentation skills among student participants. Students had the opportunity to sign up for the OSPA program and receive valuable feedback from seasoned professionals, with the potential to earn recognition certificates and prizes for their outstanding work. The new platform allowed OSPA staff and volunteers to easily assign and manage reviewers to each presentation and for Reviewers to complete and submit their evaluations in the system. When the judging process was completed the feedback was made available to the students.
