Instruction for Poster Presenters

Please read these instructions thoroughly as they give information on the preparation of your Poster.
Please remember that it is very important that you prepare your poster BEFORE you travel to Conference and that you bring it yourself. Do not mail your poster. One poster board will be allocated for each poster.
Size of poster: A0 format - 90cm wide by 120cm high

General

Two important points to remember when preparing your poster presentation:

  • Your audience should be able to see your material from a distance of 2 - 3 m. This means that all lettering should be at least 8 mm high.
  • Plan your poster so that delegates can grasp the significance of your work quickly. Number your poster units in the order you wish them to be viewed.

Title Banner

If possible, prepare a title banner to go across the top of your presentation.
The title banner should be at least 100 mm wide and should state:

  • The title of the presentation
  • The name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s)

Lettering on the banner should be at least 20 mm high.

Text on poster units

Use a clear typeface such as Helvetica or Times Roman and, if possible, a laser printer. Keep text to a minimum.

  • ideally, no more than 15 lines of type on a regular A4 sheet.

Graphs and diagrams

Graphs and diagrams often convey more than just words, as long as they are clear and simple. Graphs and figures should be drawn with a minimum line width of 1 mm.

Colour

Colour can greatly enhance your presentation. Some suggestions:

  • Use colour within diagrams.
  • Paste your individual poster units onto coloured card using different colours to guide your audience through your presentation - introduction, results, conclusions, etc.

Handouts

'Handouts', photocopies of either your individual poster units or the whole presentation reduced to A4 format, are generally well appreciated by delegates. If you wish to distribute handouts, you should prepare them beforehand and bring them with you.

When You Arrive at the Venue

Registration

You should register at the Registration Desk, upon arrival.

Posters

Posters will be presented on poster boards. Presenters will be required to be available for discussion in due time. The discussion on poster works is not scheduled.

Poster mounting and removing

Please mount your poster on May 27, 2009, between 08:00 and 10:00 hours. The posters should not be removed until November 29, at 10.00 h.

The staff at the Registration desk can help you with material for mounting the posters (pins, tape, etc.) and will be available during these periods.
