Guidelines:

• Poster boards will be provided to display poster presentation materials.
• The display boards that will be available are the US standard of 4’x8’, therefore we are asking for poster dimensions to be 3’x6’ or 4’x8’
• The title should not extend beyond the poster size.
• Posters should be prepared as a single poster rather than multiple posters pieced together.

Poster format:

• The paper title and all authors at the top of the poster
• A brief introduction, goals, experimental detail, conclusions, and references (make sure this information is presented in a logical and clear sequence)
• Explanations for graphs, pictures, and tables.
• The entire poster layout should be readable from six to ten feet away
• Optional: Use a QR code on your poster to give the audience more information about your presentation, the chance to connect with you on LinkedIn etc

Poster Appearance:

• Keep text brief. Report only key aspects of each section (methods, results, discussion, and policy or management implications).
• Keep figures simple. Convey only one idea per figure, table, or photograph.
• Figures from publications, theses, or dissertations normally do not make good visuals.
• Text and figures should be readable to someone standing at a distance of six feet. Charts and graphs should clearly show what you want the audience to see.
• Use appropriate and compatible colours for fonts, backgrounds, graphics, and matting.
• White backgrounds generally are best for text.
• Simple typefaces are preferable to fancy fonts. Bold type may be effective on headings.
