Unlike oral presentations, poster presentations give authors and attendees the
opportunity to discuss results in depth, and permit authors to vary the
presentation with the viewer. However, the key to a successful poster
presentation is to prepare poster materials carefully.
The posters will be presented in “panoramic” format: 1.80cm X 1.30cm
Size of Poster Materials
The size of poster materials should be easily read at a distance of a few meters.
The title and the list of authors, along with the addresses and affiliations, should
be printed in large, block letters. Small, poorly prepared graphs and tables
require readers to stand close to the poster, blocking the view of your
presentation from other attendees. The posting of pages of a manuscript is
strongly discouraged. A few oversized graphs and tables with concise captions will catch the attention of your viewer who can then be engaged in more detailed discussion.
Organizing Poster Materials
It is important to organize the materials logically, so that an interested viewer
can grasp the motivation for the work, the methods used, and the most
significant results. Try to guide the viewer's eye through your presentation in a
logical order.
Attendance
Arrive at least 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled poster session to arrange
your poster and be sure necessary supplies are present. One or more
registered Conference participants (the author or his/her representative) must
be present at the poster during the scheduled session.
Session chairmen have the responsibility of determining whether papers have
actually been presented. Failure to attend your poster may result in your being
declared a "no-show”. No-show papers will not be published in the
Proceedings. Remain ready to explain your poster and to elaborate on it with
interested viewers throughout the session. It is recommended that the author
provide a pre -print sign-up sheet at the poster.
Removal
All poster material must be removed promptly at the end of the last poster
session.
