Instructions for poster presenters
Onsite presenters - Printed posters
Onsite posters will be printed posters.
You will also have the opportunity to upload an E-Poster version of your printed poster, that will appear in the Congress mobile app and to record a short MP3 audio file to explain your E-Poster. For more guidelines on E-Posters please check the online presenters instructions below on this page.
Your poster is either scheduled for poster viewing or poster discussion.
Poster viewing: Your poster does not have a specific presentation time. It will remain in the poster area for participants to view throughout the Congress. Participants will visit the poster area to view the posters during the congress breaks.
Poster discussion: Your poster has been scheduled for a 5 minute presentation at a specific date and time (3 minutes for the talk and 2 minutes for discussion). All participants are invited to come and listen to the poster discussion talks.
Preparing your printed poster:
Onsite poster presenters should prepare their poster according to the following instructions:
- Please prepare your poster on one sheet of cardboard. Alternatively presenters may display their material on several smaller sheets. It is not recommend to print the posters on fabric as the fabric does not stick well to the poster boards.
- The dimensions of the poster board are PORTRAIT style. It is suggested that your poster will be 90 cm wide by 120 cm tall.
- 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).
- Technical equipment will be available for the mounting of posters.
- Each presenter will be emailed their specific poster board number. Please use the board with the same number.
Poster mounting:
Thursday, 17 October – 09:00 – 16:30
Friday, 18 October – 08:00 – 10:00
Poster dismounting:
Sunday, 20 October – 16:30 – 18:30
The organisers will not be responsible for any posters that are not dismantled until the designated hour specified above.
