POSTER PRESENTATION GUIDELINES
To ensure the poster sessions run smoothly, please take the time to read the following information.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Authors will need to register at the registration desk once they first arrive at the Workshop to collect their Identification badge and other materials.
LOCATION
Posters will be within the ITAIPU-A room.. A poster board with a position number for identification purposes will be supplied. Please ensure that your poster is displayed on the correct poster board. Do not place your poster in an alternative location.
PREPARATION OF POSTERS
Posters should meet the following criteria:
SIZE: Posters should be no larger than 0.8m x 1.2m. Posters larger than these dimensions will exceed the board; 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.

GENERAL ADVICE
- The message that your poster contains should be clear and understandable without the requirement of oral explanation. Methods should be presented simply and concisely.
- The author must be in attendance during the designated poster session (Feb. 22) to discuss the work presented. The attending author should be capable of responding to questions covering all aspects of the presentation. (Radiotherapy: 10.00 – 11:00 am; PDT 1:30 – 2:30 pm)
- Handouts can be very useful, however please note that these cannot be placed on the floor. If you wish to supply handouts you must provide a holder that can be attached to your board.
- After the title, the two most important panels are the Introduction and the Conclusion. On the basis of these two panels, a reader will decide whether to look at the results and perhaps talk to the presenter. These panels need to be very simple, concise and visually attractive.
- Results should be presented graphically if possible. Avoid large tables of data.
- Use pictures, symbols and color. Figure legends are essential and should be short but informative. Each graph should have a short heading. For visual effect, we recommend that graphs be no smaller than 12cm x 18cm.
- A matt finish on photographs gives better visibility. Photographs should be no smaller than 12cm x 18cm.
- Use the space to attract your audience for discussion, not to present complex details of methods and results.
We wish your presentation every success. If there is more that we can do for you, please contact the Workshop Secretariat via email |
