Guidelines for Poster Presentation

 

  • Notification has been sent to all poster presenters on 24 April with new poster numbers together with details of date and time of your poster presentation.
  • This number should appear on the top left-hand side of your poster.
  • Posters will be displayed in the exhibition hall (combined Halls 1 & 2 at the CTICC) on the designated days.
  • Poster should be designed in portrait format, with the size not exceeding 2,400 mm x 1,000 m (94.49” x 39.37”).  You may consider A0 paper size (1,189 mm x 841 mm; 46.81” x 33.11”) or B0 paper size (1,414 mm x 1,000 mm; 55.67” x 39.37”).  We recommend that you print on canvas or cloth (easy transport), although traditional paper print ± laminate will be fine.
  • Posters should include:
    • poster number (top left-hand side)
    • poster title (top centre), followed by authors’ names, institution, corresponding e-mail
    • poster body with content (such as introduction, materials & methods, results (including figures & tables), discussion & conclusions, references & acknowledgements).
  • Ensure good legibility, with the following as recommended guidelines:
    • Lettering should be legible from 1 m (3.28 ft.) away.
    • Use larger lettering for the poster's title and author’s name(s)
    • The font should be simple, clean-looking typeface that is easy to read
    • Capitals and lower-case letters in combination are easier to read than all capitals.
    • Bullets may be helpful in summarising information.
  • Poster presenters should stand at their posters during the designated times to give delegates the opportunity to ask questions.
  • Sources of funding should be acknowledged and any real or apparent conflict(s) of interest must be disclosed on your poster.
  • WHAT CAN I USE TO PUT UP MY POSTER?
    • Double-sided tape (broad, not narrow) to fit the poster on a PVC surface of the poster board.  Some double sided tape will be provided.
    • Nails, glue and staple guns may not be used.  Prestick and similar putty-like adhesives do not work well.
  • WHEN WILL I NEED TO BE AT MY POSTER?
    • One day during the congress has been allocated for your poster to be displayed on the dedicated poster board.  This date (14, 15, 16 or 17 July 2014) has been indicated to you in the communication of 24 April.
    • Times for putting up and taking down posters will be communicated with you soon.
    • Poster presenters should stand at their posters during lunch time, 12h00 – 13h30, on your scheduled day to give delegates the opportunity to ask questions.
