POSTER PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

Participants should prepare their poster according to the following instructions:

  • Please prepare your poster on one sheet of cardboard / thick paper / fabric. Alternatively presenters may display their material on several smaller sheets.
  • The dimensions of the poster should not exceed 90 cm wide x 120 cm high.
  • Allocate the top of the poster for the title and authors as stated on the submitted abstract.
  • The text, illustrations, etc. should be bold enough to be read from a distance of two meters (six feet).
  • Tacks and technical equipment will be available for the mounting of posters.
  • You can find information about your designated poster board here. Please use the board with the same number.

POSTER VIEWING & DISCUSSIONS

The official poster viewing and discussions will be held during the Welcome Reception on Thursday, 26 October. We kindly request all poster presenters to be available at their posters to answer any questions.

Posters will remain on display throughout the whole Conference, and delegates are welcomed to explore them at their convenience during other breaks, too.

Authors are encouraged to provide contact information, such as a business card, alongside their posters. This will enable all attendees to reach out with questions or comments, even if the presenter is temporarily unavailable.
