Poster presenters

• Poster size: A0 - the layout will need to be portrait and presenters must arrive with your poster already printed and laminated
• It is recommended you hand-carry your poster to the conference and are responsible for collecting your poster at the conclusion of sessions on Wednesday 28 August 2024. Any uncollected posters will be considered abandoned and disposed of accordingly.
• Poster presenters are encourage to be present at their poster during their assigned catering breaks to discuss the work presented.
• Include the abstract title, author, co-author names, and your organisation
• Use high-resolution photographs. Images should be at least 150 DPI at their printed size, please allow for this when scaling images. Most images taken from the internet will be 72 DPI, which is too low for printing.
• Generally, it is best to use only 2 – 3 fonts this will make your poster easier to read. Headings are best in a font such as Arial and body text in a font like Times New Roman. As a general rule if you were creating a poster in A0 size you might have a heading at 70pt and body text might be at 24pt to 36pt depending on the amount of body text you have.
• Do not use Pantone Colours as these are spot colours that are not printable on many systems, in a worst case scenario Pantone colours will print as a blank white space. From a design perspective, it is best to limit the number of colours on your poster to 3 to 4 colours (excluding those used in graphs).
