The import function can be used for Poster data in the same way that it can be used for Attendees, Exhibitors, Sessions, and Meetings, allowing admin or moderators to upload or edit all poster data, at once.

Importing Posters

To import posters, the csv file needs to have the following columns:

Poster ID - required only when updating posters; leave blank for new posters.
Title - required.
Institution
Description
Tags - optional, comma-separated.
Groups - optional, comma-separated.
Location - optional.

Helpful hints / Things to remember:

Please make sure you are importing a file with the extension .csv.
After you import the file, you will receive an email shortly after the posters have been uploaded into the system. If any posters were not uploaded, you will receive an attachment named error_rows.csv that will highlight the posters that weren’t loaded and the underlying reason.

Sample file for upload may be found here: Poster Sample

Exporting Posters

After you are done importing, if you would like the update a few posters, please make use of the “Export Posters” button under the Posters tab in the admin section. You will then receive a .csv file to your email within a few minutes, containing all the poster information in the system. Every poster will have a value in the column “Poster ID”. You can update any information in this file and re-import as needed.
