Poster Presentation Guidelines 
Presentation requirements 
•	Posters should be set up immediately after registering on the day of the conference (8:00‐8:30 AM). 
•	The presenting author should endeavor to be present at his/her poster during the morning session coffee break (10:00‐10:30 AM) and during the poster session (5:30 – 8:00 PM) during the poster viewing session. Alternatively, a co‐author should be present at the poster. 
•	Posters must be removed immediate after the award presentation (7:30 PM). 

Format requirements
•	Poster presentation space is strictly limited to the dimensions of 3 ft x 4 ft (≈91 cm x 121 cm). Dimensions are listed height x width. Posters should be easily read at a distance of at least 1,5 meters (see Components and Design of a Poster below for recommended minimum font sizes). 
•	A poster printed on one large sheet of matte or semi‐gloss paper is strongly encouraged. 
•	Include the title of the presentation in large letters, the authors' names, and the institution(s) where the work was completed at the top center of the poster. 
•	Poster numbers will be provided onsite and will be placed above your poster; you do not need to leave room on your poster for your poster number. 
•	Introduction and Summary/Conclusions sections are advised. Only text, graphs, photographs, and artwork may be placed on the poster board. 

Guide for components and design of the poster 
The heading comprises the title of the project, author names, and author affiliations (institution/department ± city and country). Headings have more impact in a sans serif font such as Helvetica or Arial. 

Title (typically at least 72 points, in a sans serif font)
	Author names (typically 36‐48 points, in a sans serif font) 
	Affiliations (typically 28‐36 points, in a sans serif font) 
Body: The body text of the poster should describe background, methodology, results, and interpretation. Body text is typically no smaller than 24 points and in a serif font such as Times New Roman or Garamond. An abstract (typically same size or larger than body text) is often included to distinctly and succinctly summarize the main results. A separate conclusion section (if used) should be clear and concise and provide one or more "take home" messages. 
Graphics: Graphics (Figures/Tables) are essential for an effective poster. Include captions and legends above/below each graphic. Caption text is typically no smaller than 16 points and in a serif font. Graphics should be understandable without recourse to a detailed caption or legend.
