Poster Presentation Guidelines
To communicate the key messages from your abstract effectively, please take the time to read the following guidelines when creating your poster.
Location
Poster boards will be located in Parkside Foyer of the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre. A poster board with a number for identification purposes will be provided onsite upon registration. Please ensure that your poster is displayed on the correct poster board. Do not place your poster in an alternate location. Posters will be displayed in themes identified by the Scientific Program Committee.
Poster Presentation Time
Poster Presenters are requested to be available near their poster during the specified lunch times below for a formal viewing session and to answer questions regarding their poster:
Tuesday 20 March at 1230 - 1330 hours:
Information/Innovation/Education Poster Presentations
Wednesday 21 March at 1230 - 1330 hours:
Case Series/Study and Clinical Research Poster Presentations
Poster Set-Up/Removal Times
In order to set-up your poster, it will be necessary to collect your badge first – this is in order to gain access to the poster area. Velcro will be provided to you at the time of registration.
Set-up of posters - From 0700 hours, on Monday 18 March 2012
Removal of posters - After 1330 hours on Wednesday 21 March 2012, all posters must be removed by 1600 hours
Preparation Of Posters
The poster should be a visual presentation of your submitted abstract.
Posters should meet the following criteria:
Title
The title should be the same as in the final abstract.
Contact Information
Name, complete mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address for all authors should appear on the poster.
Size
The poster must be AO size (85cm width and 119cm length). We are unable to accommodate larger sized Posters.
Lettering
The poster should be easily readable at a distance of two metres. Use upper and lower case for general content as the use of all-capital text is difficult to read. Avoid using mixtures of type/font styles.
Recommendations
| Type Of Text | Size Of Characters | Case / Style | General Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TITLE | 20-24 mm or 100 point maximum | Title Case / Bold | At the top of the poster include the title of the presentation, the name of the authors and the institution where the work was completed. |
| HEADINGS | 48 point is suggested 60 point maximum |
Title Case | Headings such as “Introduction”, “Methods”, “Results”, “Discussion” and “Conclusion” are useful. |
| CONTENT | 24-28 point 32 maximum Single spaced |
Upper and Lower Case | The text should be brief throughout. Any description of methods should be simple and concise. |
General Advice For Those Who Have Not Previously Presented A Poster
- The message that your poster contains should be clear and understandable without the requirement of oral explanation. Methods should be presented simply and concisely.
- Handouts can be very useful, however please note that these cannot be placed on the floor for safety reasons. If handouts or poster packaging are found on the floor the Conference Managers will remove it. However if you wish to supply handouts you must provide a holder that can be attached to your poster board.
- After the title, the two most important panels are the Introduction and the Conclusion. On the basis of these two panels, a reader will decide whether to consider the poster details and perhaps talk to the presenter. These panels need to be very simple, concise and visually attractive.
- Results should be presented graphically if possible. Avoid large tables of data. Results should be in line with those originally submitted in your abstract.
- Use pictures, symbols and colour. Figure legends are essential and should be short but informative. Each graph should have a short heading. For visual effect, we recommend that graphs be no smaller than 12cm x 18cm.
- A matt finish on photographs gives better visibility. Photographs should be no smaller than 12cm x 18cm.
- Use the space to attract your audience for discussion, not to present complex details of methods and results.
