2. How to Prepare Your Poster
  1. Each presenter will be provided a poster space of 2.4m high x 1m wide poster panel.
    Your poster should be A0 size in portrait format, measuring 1189mm height x 841mm width maximum. Your presentation must cover the same material as the accepted abstract.
  2. Place your Abstract ID, Abstract Title and Author Name(s) prominently at the top of the poster to allow viewers to identify your abstract easily. Presenter’s Name must be underlined and in Bold Letterings.
  3. On the poster, the presenter must specify when (from when to when) they will be there. The minimum duration is 60 minutes.
  4. Author Name, E-mail and Address information must be provided in case the viewer is interested in contacting you for more information.
  5. You have complete freedom in displaying your information in figures, tables, text, photographs, etc. in the poster.
  6. A successful poster presentation depends on how well you convey information to an interested (but not expert) audience. You may wish to structure your poster by including the background of your research followed by methodology, results and conclusions.
3. Print Out and Bring Along Your Poster to the Meeting
  1. Pins are available at the Poster Help Desk, nearby the poster boards. If you have special needs for your poster presentation, please bring those supplies with you to the meeting.
