Guidelines for Poster Sessions

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.

Size of POSTER:

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 No-show papers will not be published in the Proceedings.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.
