Guidelines For Poster Presentations
Poster Display Hours
Posters may be hung between 7:30am and 8:00am on the day of your presentation.
Posters must remain on display all day, and must be removed at the
close of each day (6:30pm). The organiser is not responsible for poster
materials left at day’s end.
You are not required to be in attendance at your poster board. You may wish
to leave your appropriate form of contact (e.g. email address) on the
poster board, so that other delegates can communicate with you if they
would like to discuss your work with you.
Posterboard Dimensions
Display boards have maximum dimensions of 1.3m (W) x 2.0m (H). The poster size should not exceed 1.0m (W) x 1.2m (H).
Poster Design
Keep materials clear and concise. Produce material that is legible from a
distance of at least 3 feet. Use large print and shade/colour block
letters when possible. For legibility, a minimum font size of 28 points
and a maximum of 600 words are recommended. Use a layout for your
poster that follows the main headings used in your abstract, i.e.,
Purpose, Methods, Results and Conclusions. Appropriate acknowledgement
and references should also be included.
Mounting
Posters must be fixed with Velcro. Velcro (male) will be available from the
organizers. Do not use pushpins, adhesives or multi-layered materials
directly on the poster boards.
Disclosures
First authors must disclose any Commercial relationships,
including the name(s) of the firm(s) with which a commercial
relationship exists, conflicts of interest, and/or patents or patent
applications, associated with the abstract at the time of their
presentation.
All Commercial Relationships must be indicated on the bottom right corner
of your poster. Indicate NONE if applicable.
You may wish to leave your contact details on your poster.
Withdrawal Policy
If you are unable to present, you must contact the Organiser to provide notification of your withdrawal.
