The branded public poster gallery — the designed page delegates browse on a screen in the hall or a phone on the train, split out as its own module so the gallery is a choice, not a side effect.
What it is
A designed gallery of the published posters: searchable, filterable by track and category, grouped how you choose, with the poster file rendered inline and delegate questions one tap away. Presentation is template-driven — an organization library of gallery templates, one published instance per event with overrides, and event-scoped templates where a design belongs to a single meeting.
What it changes
The poster hall gets a digital twin that outlives the two hours it was physically up, and the gallery's window and audience are decisions you make here — separately from when authors may upload.
The hall entrance screen
A Beacon poster-session screen lists what is on which board; the QR on it opens this gallery on the delegate's phone.
The month after
Uploads close before the meeting; the gallery stays open for a month after it, public, as the society's shop window.
The branded gallery
One organization template carries the society's look; every event publishes it with its own header and dates.
What you can do
- Build gallery templates in the organization library, scope one to a single event, and promote it when it earns reuse.
- Publish one live instance per event, from a template plus overrides — branding, layout, featured posters, sponsor banners.
- Open and close the gallery on its own window, and choose public or attendees-only access.
- Show posters inline — PDF, image or slides — with the supplemental files alongside.
- See view counts by day, by track, by category and by poster.

Posters — the viewer publishes that module's content and cannot be enabled without it. With poster review active, only approved posters appear; a published poster with no file is held back until its file lands.
One live instance per event. The gallery shows published, file-carrying posters only — there is no preview-the-drafts mode for the public page.
