Poster Presentations
You will be sent your poster board number by email from the conference organisers. Please put your poster up on arrival at the conference.
Posters will be displayed for the duration of the conference. You can hang your poster from 8am on Thursday 27 April and must be removed by 4pm on Saturday 29 April. The organisers take no responsibility for any posters left after this time.
The boards are covered in a front runner material which are suitable for Velcro. Velcro will be supplied by the organiser.
Each poster will be allocated a 1 metre wide x 2 metres high board and the poster must fit within this area. We request that your poster is printed portrait in A0 size.
Please prepare the poster with the same care you would take to prepare for an oral presentation. We recommend that all displays be colourful and appealing to the eye. They should be concise, neat, well organised and easily read when standing between 1 and 3 metres away. Avoid using too much text as you will be beside the poster to answer questions and your paper is in the Proceedings and the Proceedings memory stick for those who want more detail.
Head it with the title (15 mm high lettering) and names of authors (10 mm high lettering) in the submitted paper. Laminate the display material to a backing board to make it simpler to transport and present.
