CALL FOR PAPERS

(C) POSTERS PRESENTATION


A poster is typically a collection of printed pages or images mounted on poster board, but those with access to large-format printers may prefer to produce a single document. The final poster size should NOT exceed 150 x 100 centimeters (approximately 60 inches x 40 inches).

There will be scheduled sessions in which presenters will be expected to stand by their posters and discuss the work with interested attendees. Presenters may wish to bring printed technical reports or other material to hand out to interested attendees. Presenters are also encouraged to bring their laptop computers, in order to show images, play animations, and run interactive demos

At the conference, presenters are expected to mount their posters for attendees to view. Poster boards, pushpins and other material needed for posting your poster will be provided by the conference organization.

Poster Planning Guidelines

If this is your first poster presentation, please keep in mind that the difference between a poster and a paper presentation is that you should let your poster do most of the “talking'”, i.e. the poster should communicate the essence of your message. Your task will be to answer questions and provide further details, to “drive” the interested attendee through your poster.

Here are some guidelines to help you plan you poster:

  • Keep the material simple. Your poster should cover the KEY POINTS of your work. Make your poster as self-explanatory as possible. This will save you time to use for discussions and questions.
  • The ideal poster is designed to:
    • attract attention
    • provide a brief overview of your work
    • initiate discussion and questions.
  • Make full use of the space, but do not cramp a page full of information as the result can often appear confused.
  • Be concise. Write short sentences and use only pertinent information to convey your message
  • Display your results clearly to attract people who have an interest in your work. Present only those that illustrate the main points of the project.
  • Prepare a few handouts that explain the information in more detail.
  • Use colour for highlighting and to make your poster more attractive. Think about what attracts you to posters and other visual displays. Use pictures, diagrams, cartoons, figures, etc., rather than only text wherever possible.
  • Choose background and foreground colour combinations that have high contrast and complement each other. Do not use too many colours. Use preferably the light colour for the background as that is what people are used to seeing.
  • Avoid using more than 2 font types as too many would distract the attention of the attendee, especially when they appear on the same sentence
  • Use fonts that are easy on the eyes, such as Times New Roman or Arial.
  • Use a large font for the title and headings, and label all figures and images.
  • Prepare a short presentation (several minutes) that you can periodically give to those assembled around your poster. Be prepared to give it several times as people move through the area.
