Poster Presentation Guidelines

Poster Set Up

Posters should be legible from a distance. The poster title should be identical to the paper and the poster needs to show the name(s) of author(s) and institution.

We recommend that authors bring with them copies of a printed summary of their paper for distribution among interested participants.

The area available for your poster is100 cm (39.4 inches) wide x 120 cm (47.2 inches) high to mount your poster.  It is strongly recommended that the poster be printed on an A0 page (84.1 cm x 118.9 cm) or US Arch E page (36 in x 48 in) in PORTRAIT orientation.

Posters can be mounted from 8:00 am of the corresponding day and should be removed before 6:00 pm. Any posters remaining after this time will be removed.

Mounting Material

Poster mounting material will be provided by the conference.
