Tips for Poster preparation:

  • Avoid long sentences, but try to use bullets
  • Use charts and graphs to illustrate data (avoid large tables of raw data).
  • Use high resolution photographs
  • Keep consistent margins.
  • Keep line spacing consistent.
  • Keep the color, style, and thickness of borders the same.

Generally, posters are prepared as one, large sheet and usually brought to the conference rolled up in a tube. (Yet posters may be prepared as a group of smaller sheets, which may be easier to prepare and transport).

Push pins will be supplied for you to secure your poster to the partition.
