As a poster presenter you can deliver your presentation effectively to an audience in the form of a poster. There is no formal oral presentation in a poster session, instead each author is assigned a display area on which diagrams, graphics, data, pictures/photos, and a small amount of text are presented.

The poster should be self-explanatory, but the author should be available at certain times, such as refreshment breaks and during the time devoted to poster session, to interact with viewers and answer questions.

Poster presenters could also derive a lot of benefits from registering for the conference.

A poster presentation allows you to interact face to face with people interested in your research.

A time slot will be allocated for the poster viewing in the conference program and please ensure that you stand by your poster(s) for discussions and questions during that session.

Posters should be no larger than A0 (84 cm wide by 119 cm long) in portrait/landscape format. Please follow the guidelines. Check-in at the poster desk THE DAY of your presentation. The presenter must be an author of the poster and a registered attendee.

The poster boards will accept pushpins which will be available in the poster hall. Please return the pins at the end of your poster session.

Display your material in large print so it may be read from a distance. Print TITLE and AUTHORS in extra-large print across the top of your display.

Poster presenters are able to explain their material, answer questions, exchange contact information, and fully discuss the subject matter, as visitors examine the displays during the time allocated for poster presentation.

Workshop presentations are interactive skills-based discussions that last 90-120 minutes. Workshops must be interactive, and include practical information that participants can bring back to their communities.
