Poster Session Guidelines
A poster session will be held on Sunday, October 11th from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in the Congress venue, located on the 1st floor of the Main Hall. Each presenter is provided with a A1 format poster board (59.4 cm x 84.1 cm).
Organisational Committee suggest:
• Place the title of your poster at the top of the poster board to allow viewers to identify your poster. Indicate title and authors’ names.
• Highlight at least the first author’s name, e-mail, and affiliation.
• Prepare all diagrams or charts neatly and legibly beforehand in a size sufficient to be read at a distance of 2 meters. Paragraph and figure caption text should be AT LEAST 24-point font (0.9 cm height) and headers AT LEAST 36 point font (1.2 cm height). Use creativity by using different font sizes and styles, perhaps even color.
• Use different colors and textures/symbols for each line or bar contained in your graph or chart. A serif font (e.g., Times) is often easier for reading main text, and a non-serif font (e.g., Arial or Helvetica) for headers and figure labels.
• Organize the paper on the poster board so it is clear, orderly, and self-explanatory. You have complete freedom in displaying your information in figures, tables, text, photographs, etc.
• Use squares, rectangles, circles, etc., to group like ideas. Avoid cluttering your poster with too much text. Label different elements as I, II, III; or 1, 2, 3; or A, B, C, making it easier for a viewer to follow your display.
• Include the background of your research followed by results and conclusions. A successful poster presentation depends on how well you convey information to an interested audience.
