Guidelines for
Preparing a
Poster
Presentation:
Presenters will
interact with
attendees while
standing next to
their Poster
Presentation.
Attendees at
Poster
Presentations
will stroll by
looking for
topics of
interest.
Presenters need
to attract
attention with a
good topic and a
visually
interesting
presentation.
Organization and
clarity are
critical. A
poster
presentation
should attract
people's
interest as they
walk by and then
be easily
reviewed to
stimulate a
one-to-one
discussion with
the presenters.
The goal is to
encourage
informed
discussion about
your research.
The poster
should be easily
readable from
1.5 meters (4
feet) away.
Support:
Although we will
provide you with
tools (adhesive
tape, etc.) for hanging your
poster, it is
recommended that
you bring your
own materials as
a back up.
Format: There
will also be
other authors
with their
poster
presentations in
the gallery. For
that reason, we
encourage you to
avoid exceeding
the dimensions
of a Din A0 (84
cm width and 120
cm high) and hang
your posters
vertically.
Type of
letter, font and
size:
We recommend
using the
following font
and font size:
- Type of font:
Arial
- Title: At
least 36 points.
- Headings: 30
points or more.
- Text: At least
24 points.
Other
recommendations: When
choosing a
background to
frame your
visual
presentation,
remember that
neutral or
greyish colours
will be easier
to see than a
bright colour.
Space your
information
proportionately.
A suggestion is
to divide your
presentation
either
horizontally or
vertically into
three or four
sections, and
place materials
within those
sections. We
recommend you to
use
illustrations,
schemas and
graphics so that
your
presentation can
be more
attractive.
