Posters Sessions

Poster Presentation Authors Only

In addition to your written paper included in the conference publication, the poster session is your opportunity to present your work directly to other registrants and to discuss it with them. It is a particularly useful format for small group discussion and debate.

Try to attract the registrants to your poster unless they come to it, you cannot expect to have a discussion with them. The display should therefore be visually appealing and should contain the essence of your paper in a form that is easy to understand.

Your display should consist chiefly of keywords, diagrams, photographs, etc. Colour photographs are particularly attractive in a poster display. Diagrams and graphs should have clear captions. All lettering should be easy to read. Handwritten text or diagrams are not recommended. All graphs and diagrams should be drawn with thick lines (preferably 1mm or more in width). Use colour to emphasise important features.

Posters will be displayed in the same area as the exhibition and where refreshments and lunch will be served on the second and third day of the conference.

Poster boards will be allocated and further details will be available from the registration desk on site.

The poster display is important. You are recommended to take as much trouble with it as you did in preparing your written paper.

• The title of your paper
• The authors' names and their affiliations
• Your usual contact details (e.g. an email address) to allow delegates to follow up discussion.
