Information about poster preparation and orientation

All posters are required to conform to PORTRAIT ORIENTATION. Failure to follow this requirement will mean that the poster will NOT FIT on the allotted board.

1. Dimensions

Poster BOARD dimensions are 0.90 m wide and 1.10 m high.

2. Lay out

Divide the poster into sections e.g. Title, Affiliation, Introduction, M&M, Results, Conclusions, References and Acknowledgement.

3. Design

Posters should be clear and easy to read.  Type size should be sufficiently large to allow people to read from 2-3 meters:  A minimum of 1 cm high for text and 2.5 cm high for titles.  Do not reduce text size in order to fit more information onto the poster. Design the poster to convey a clear message. Avoid overload - too much information seriously detracts from the overall impact.  LESS IS BEST! The simple use of color can enhance a presentation, but avoid the temptation towards art! Consider the use of suitable photographs, but DO NOT include them as a background to the poster.

4. Fastening devices for poster

The congress will prepare fastening devices, i.e., Velcro dots by the poster orientation date (For a quick poster orientation, you could bring your own fastening with you.)

5. Poster display schedule

All posters must remain on display for the full allocated day. Each full registration will be permitted one poster and must attend to their poster for the allocated session.
