Preparing Your Poster

The ideal poster attracts attention, provides a brief overview of your work and initiates discussion. It needs to be as simple and clear as possible with an emphasis on graphics rather than text. Please follow these guidelines when creating your poster:

1. Size: A1 portrait or landscape (approximately 60cm x 80cm) orA0 portrait only (84.1cm x 118.9cm).
2. Your poster should be one piece and not made up of separate sections.
3. Finish: Laminate or cloth
4. Your poster should include title, author(s) names, affiliations, institutional logos, where appropriate, and email addresses.

We will collect your poster when you register and assign it a number.
