Posters will be on display throughout the conference. Authors are expected to stand near their posters throughout the poster sessions, which are held during the afternoon coffee breaks.
- Each author will be assigned an A0 size (841 x 1189 mm) poster board (portrait). - Posters will be mounted on the poster board with Velcro, which will be provided. - Use of one or two large sheets of paper is preferred; where possible use of a number of small sheets should be avoided, as a limited amount of Velcro will be available. - The abstract title, authors, and affiliations should be indicated in a heading at the top of your poster. - The title line(s) should be readable from at least 2 metres away; lettering should be at least 2.5 cm high. Use an appropriately sized font. - Remember that your presentation must be readable from a distance. Keep visual materials simple and clear. - Rely sparingly on printed text; graphs, charts, tables and pictures should be used to communicate information where possible. - Focus selectively on major findings. - Simple use of colour can add effective emphasis. - You might like to consider providing a handout or preparing a sign-up sheet for delegates who request additional information.
