Poster sessions are a valuable method for authors to present papers and meet with interested attendees for in-depth technical discussions. Therefore, it is important that you display your results clearly to attract people who have an interest in your work and your paper.
Preparing your poster presentation before the conference
Your poster should cover the
key points of your work. The ideal poster is designed to:
- Attract attention.
- Provide a brief overview of your work.
- Initiate discussion and questions.
- The title of your poster should appear at the top in
capital letters about 25 milimeters (1″) high.
The author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s) are put below the title.
This year the provided poster boards are vertical and measure 8 feet in height and 4 feet in width. Your paper should fit within the following dimensions:
-
3,75 feet wide (114,3 centimeters).
-
7,58 feet tall (231,14 centimeters).
Carefully prepare your poster well in advance of the conference. There will be no time or materials available for last minute preparations at the conference. If you think you may need certain materials to repair the poster after traveling, bring them with you.
Use color to highlight and make your poster more attractive, by using pictures, diagrams, cartoons or figures, rather than only text wherever possible.
The smallest text on your poster should be at least 9 milimeters (3/8″) high, and the important points should be in a larger font. Make your poster as self-explanatory as possible. This will save you time to use for discussions and questions.
