The posters will be on display throughout the day including both coffee breaks and lunch and there will be a dedicated time after the morning coffee break (11.30 - 12.00) when authors are expected to stand near their posters.

Mounting and arranging materials

  • Each author will be assigned an A0 size (841 x 1189 mm) poster space (landscape).
  • Posters will be mounted using Blu-Tack, which will be provided.
  • Use of one or two large sheets of paper is preferred; where possible use of a number of small sheets should be avoided, as a limited amount of Blu-Tack will be available.
  • The abstract title, authors and affiliations should be indicated in a heading at the top of your poster.
  • Lettering for the title line should be at least 2.5 cm high. Pleaseuse an appropriately-sized font throughout.
  • Power-point can also be used to produce clear posters and most universities have poster printing services.

Illustrations and layout

  • Keep visual materials simple and clear.
  • For clarity, graphs, charts, tables and pictures should be used to communicate information where possible.
  • You may also like to consider providing a handout or preparing a sign-up sheet for delegates who request additional information.
