Instructions on the preparation of poster displays will be sent to authors upon notification of the abstract’s acceptance. An indication of what is required is listed below.

Size

Posters should be no larger than 90cm wide x 110cm high. Posters larger than these dimensions will exceed the board size; it is therefore necessary that the poster adhere to the specified measurements.

Lettering

The poster should be easily readable at a distance of two meters. 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. Left justified text, as it is easier on the eyes of the reader.

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.

Title Case

Headings such as “Introduction”, “Methods”, “Results”, “Discussions” and “Conclusions” are useful.

Upper and Lower Case

The text should be brief throughout. Any description of methods should be simple and concise.
