INFORMATION FOR POSTER PRESENTERS

Poster Panel Size
 
The display area for posters is 0,95 metre wide × 1,8 metre high.
This area will be allocated for each poster. Please ensure that your poster does not exceed this size.

Poster Panel Allocation
A numbered panel will be allocated for each poster. Staff will be on hand to provide your poster panel number. Lists with the abstract number and the panel number for each poster will be available in the poster area.

Posters can be mounted from 07.00 on the day of your session and can remain on display throughout that day.
All posters should be removed by 18.00 after the poster session.

Dedicated poster viewing times have been scheduled during poster sessions in the programme (2-3 pm).
You will be expected to stand by your posters during your allotted session to answer any questions.

Any posters remaining in place at the end of the day will be removed by the organisers who accept no responsibility for loss or damage.

Fixing
Posters should be fixed to boards using Velcro. The Conference Secretariat will provide a sufficient amount of fixing materials for you.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR POSTER PRODUCTION

A poster should be self-contained and self-explanatory, allowing different viewers to proceed on their own while the author is free to supplement or discuss particular points raised in inquiry. Presentations should be kept simple and clear and a mixture of text and graphics is recommended. Remember that the viewer, not the author, as in the case of slide presentations, determines the time spent at each poster.

Poster Layout
Materials should be mounted on coloured poster paper or board. Use matt finish rather than glossy paper. Arrange materials in columns rather than rows. It is easier for viewers to scan a poster by moving along it rather than by zigzagging back and forth in front of it. An introduction should be placed at the upper left and a conclusion at the lower right. The abstract does not need to be presented.

Illustrations
Figures should be designed to be viewed from a distance and should use clear, visible graphics and large type.
Each figure or table should have a heading of one or two lines. Additional essential information should be provided below in a legend. Photographs should have good contrast, sharp focus and, if necessary, an indication of scale.

Text
Minimise narrative. Use large type in short, separated paragraphs. Numbered or bulleted lists are effective ways to convey a series of points. Do not set entire paragraphs in uppercase or boldface type.

Titles and Fonts
Titles and captions should be short and easy to read, in a sans serif font for preference. Use large lettering as this means a number of people can read the poster from a distance without overcrowding. Remember to caption your poster with the abstract title, author’s names and affiliations.
