Prepare a 1-5 minute audio talk that briefly reviews the highlights of your work, and complements the information on your poster. You can write out the text. Practice reading it slowly and clearly. The submission form will prompt you to narrate when you submit your poster. If you make a mistake while reading, you can stop your narration and start over as many times as needed until you are happy with the results.
