Guidelines: Poster preparation and display

Guidelines: Poster Preparation and Display
 
Display/Presentation of Posters
 
All posters will be displayed for the entire duration of the symposium. 
 
To permit maximum viewing of posters, authors are encouraged to mount their posters as soon as possible upon arrival at the symposium. Please find the poster board bearing your paper number and affix your poster to it. Should you require assistance, please see the conference desk. 
 
As far as possible authors are requested to be present at their posters during the coffee breaks for discussion with interested participants.
 
 
Preparation of Posters
The poster should be a visual presentation of your submitted extended synopsis. Posters should meet the following criteria:
Poster Size
All posters should be in portrait format and size: A0 (1189 mm high and 841 mm wide).
Lettering

The poster should be easily readable at a distance of two metres. Use UPPER and lower case for general content, as all-capital text is difficult to read. Avoid using mixtures of type/font styles. Left justify text, as it is easier on the eyes of the reader.

Graphs/Photographs

For visual effect, it is recommended that graphs be no smaller than 120 mm × 180 mm.

 

Recommendations:

 

TYPE OF TEXT	SIZE OF CHARACTERS	CASE / STYLE	GENERAL ADVICE
TITLE	20–24 mm or 100 point maximum	Title Case/Bold	At the top of the poster, include the title of the presentation, the names of the authors and the institution where the work was completed.
HEADINGS	48 point is suggested 60 point maximum	Title Case	Headings such as “Introduction”, “Methods”, “Results”, “Discussions” and “Conclusions” are useful.
CONTENT	24–28 point 32 maximum Single spaced	Upper and lower case	The text should be brief throughout. Any description of methods should be simple and concise.
