Poster Preparation Guidelines

At this stage each posters will be displayed for 2-days of the conference, either Mon/Tues or Thurs/Fri. Authors are requested to ensure that the poster are displayed by 8 am on the first day and are removed by close of the poster session on day 2. Those not removed by this time will be disposed of by the event coordinators.

Poster Guidelines for Presenters: A freestanding velcro compatible posterboard (2.4 metres high x 1.2 metres wide) will be provided for your poster. Your poster should not exceed the size of a standard A0 in portrait layout. Your poster number will appear on the top right hand side of the board so you can locate your board easily.

In order to efficiently communicate the results of your research to the viewers, you are kindly requested to devote considerable effort in the design of your poster. Providing A4 takeaway versions of your poster is also encouraged.

Presenters may wish to consider the following;
 
  • Avoid putting too much material and text on the poster.
  • The heading should have letters at least 35mm (100 Pt) high listing the title of the paper, authors, institution and its location
  • Lettering for text and illustrations should be at least 10mm (36 pt) high
  • The introduction should contain 3 to 5 sentences outlining essential information necessary to understand the study and why it was done.
  • The objectives of the study, the questions to be asked or the hypothesis to be tested should be clearly stated in as few words as possible.
  • Outline your methods briefly
  • Results should be presented as graphs or tables. They should be self-explanatory and therefore please provide a clear legend including symbols. You may also want to provide an interpretation of the results below each panel.

The discussion (if necessary) and conclusions should be succinctly stated on large type. Many viewers read this first and hence it should be easy to understand.
