Dimension of the poster should be A0 Portrait (841mm x 1189mm).

An area of 10 cm by 10 cm (4" by 4") must be left available at the top left hand corner for the poster number (provided by the organizers).

Keep in mind that lettering for titles, authors, headings etc. should be legible from a reasonable viewing distance.

Do not use excessive text boxes, a graph or a properly annotated drawing conveys far more information. However, be careful to maintain text clarity on drawings. Use colour but avoid gimmicks.

Do not pin up a photocopy, even enlarged, of your paper. This is unfair to the conference participants.

The poster should be self explanatory. Posters are a means of communication and discussion. Thus the authors, or someone knowledgeable to represent them, should be present for the major part of the session. Controls will be made, and the Program Committee reserve the right to exclude a paper from the proceedings if there is inadequate coverage.

Remember that the poster disseminates information about your laboratory or experiment.

Consider having a separate note pad to record requests for preprints or further contacts. Have some preprints available.
