Guidelines for Poster Presentations

Good Practices:

The Poster Boards are 8 feet long by 4 feet high and you should leave 6 inches at the top and 6 inches on each side of blank space
Simply posting the pages of your written version of the proceedings paper is NOT an effective Poster Paper Presentation. Posters need to be prepared specifically according to the following for effective presentations.
The title of your poster paper should be done in block letters which are AT LEAST 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 inches) high.
All text must be easily readable from a distance of 1 to 2 meters. Make the lettering at least 1 cm high, smaller lettering will not be legible from a distance of 1 to 2 meters.
All graphs and charts should be AT LEAST 25 X 30 cm (approximately 8.5 x 11 inches) or larger.
It is a good idea to sequentially number your materials in the poster. This will indicate to the viewer a logical progression through your Poster Paper Presentation.
Provide an introduction (outline) and a summary or conclusion for your Poster Paper Presentation.
Prepare your Poster Paper Presentation carefully so that it can be used as the basis to explain and answer questions from the viewers.
It is helpful to have copies of the written version of your paper available for those viewers who may want to study specifics of your work in more detail.
Have your business cards available for those who may wish to contact you at a later date.
Bring along a tablet of blank paper that you may use for a discussion of technical details relating to your poster paper.
