Poster presentations
Overview
Poster sessions are designed to give presenters an opportunity to discuss informally their research with colleagues interested in their research. The purpose of the posters is to visually stimulate interest in the research, to present sufficient information for viewers to understand the methods, results, and significance of the research, and to promote conversations and networking among conference participants.
- Total poster size must be 841 millimetres wide x 1189 millimetres high (A0 size). The poster must be printed in portrait format. Posters larger than this size cannot be accommodated.Posters must be prepared in English.
- Scientific content should prioritize clear communication of the intended message using straightforward, accessible language.
- Make font readable! Text and diagrams should be arranged appropriately so that the poster is legible from a distance.
- Conflict of Interest Statement: Potential conflicts must be listed on the poster as the first section after the title and in a type size consistent with the rest of the poster. This statement must list all funding sources for the current project, as well as other potentially conflicting relationships that existed at any time during the conduct of the study.
- Posters must be pinable, so please make sure you are using material that is light in weight. Pins will be provided on the day.
- Important: Posters printed on cloth / organic bases are encouraged.
- Numbering System: Each poster board will be numbered. Presenters should attach their posters to the board number corresponding to the number assigned to their poster on that day as listed in the Final Program.
- Posters will be on display on the day of your presentation and can be removed at the end of the afternoon break on that day.
