We have all seen our share of presentations at conferences, workshops and other events, but there is a new medium that has gained significant popularity over the last couple of years.
On-line presentations made up from slide shows, with charts and graphs and sometimes voice-over's are becoming common practice and are an excellent tool to maintain interest once a conference has concluded.
There are many advantages to publishing conference presentations on-line.
- It provides the opportunity to those who weren't able to make it to the conference to benefit from the presentations that were given.
- It gives delegates the opportunity to go back and view presentations they may have missed or forgotten about after an intensive day at the conference.
- It's an inexpensive way to disseminate the presentations.
- It drives attendance for the next conference by showing users the great presentations that were on offer.
Some of you may think that if the presentation will be published on-line after the event ‘why should I pay to attend the conference?'. Well here are just a few reasons why:
- Conferences provide you with the opportunity to make acquaintances and set up new networks.
- You can ask questions and discuss presentations face to face with the presenters/authors.
- You have the opportunity to share opinions and information with others delegates who have similar interests to your own.
Since 2003, PHC RIS have published all GP & PHC Research Conference abstracts as well as paper presentations (where permission was granted) on our website. The database now contains over 700 abstracts and almost 300 presentations that can be browsed by year/category or searched by keywords.
