Fast poster discovery
Participants needed to locate posters by number, title, presenter, and author without browsing through every item manually.
Event Technology
Conference E-Poster Platform
A conference digital environment combining website production, visual communication, searchable poster browsing, large-screen presentation, and staff-facing controls for reliable event-day operation.
Overview
Designing a digital poster experience for both participants and event staff.
The project required more than displaying poster files. It needed a clear browsing experience for participants, reliable controls for staff, and a presentation layout optimized for use on a large event monitor.
I worked across the visual design, website production, interface development, poster search and navigation, display testing, operating controls, and bilingual documentation required for practical on-site use.
The Challenge
Creating a system that remained simple for visitors and reliable for staff.
Large-screen presentation
Poster layouts needed to remain readable and properly proportioned on the event monitor while minimizing distracting controls and unused space.
Event-day reliability
Staff required clear controls, reset functions, operating instructions, and predictable behavior during continuous on-site use.
My Responsibilities
Connecting visual design, interface development, and event operations.
My responsibilities covered the participant-facing experience as well as the practical tools and documentation needed by staff.
Conference website production
Designed and developed event information pages, navigation, responsive layouts, and visual elements for the conference website.
E-Poster information structure
Organized poster records, numbering, titles, presenter information, author information, and searchable metadata.
Search and navigation
Developed poster search, listing, preview, previous and next navigation, keyboard controls, and return-to-directory behavior.
Display optimization
Tested layout behavior on desktop and event monitors and refined proportions, spacing, controls, poster scale, and full-screen presentation.
Staff operation and documentation
Prepared staff-facing controls, reset functions, configuration guidance, Japanese and English manuals, and technical README documentation.
Solution
A focused browsing and presentation system designed around event-day use.
Poster Directory
Structured access to all poster records
Posters were presented in a consistent directory with clear numbering, titles, presenter details, and direct access to individual poster views.
Search
Multiple ways to locate a poster
Search supported poster numbers, titles, presenters, and author information so participants could quickly find relevant content.
Presentation Mode
Screen-focused poster display
Poster previews were optimized for large displays, with controls positioned to preserve the available screen area and keep attention on the poster.
Staff Controls
Practical operation and recovery tools
Staff-facing functions supported controlled operation, reset behavior, configuration, and recovery during live use.
Process
From event requirements to tested on-site operation.
-
01
Define poster and event requirements
Reviewed poster quantity, metadata, monitor specifications, participant behavior, staff needs, and operating constraints.
-
02
Design the browsing structure
Planned the poster directory, search fields, preview interface, navigation controls, and user return paths.
-
03
Develop the interface and controls
Implemented the directory, search functionality, poster display, keyboard controls, navigation, and staff-facing operating tools.
-
04
Test on actual equipment
Verified resolution, scaling, poster proportions, monitor behavior, full-screen presentation, and control visibility on event hardware.
-
05
Document and prepare for delivery
Created operating manuals, configuration notes, staff guidance, and technical documentation for reliable event-day use.
Outcome
A dedicated digital poster environment prepared for live event use.
The completed platform gave participants a structured way to search and browse posters while providing staff with documented controls for operation.
- Searchable poster directory
- Poster-number, title, presenter, and author search
- Previous and next poster navigation
