Poster Presentations
The ideal poster size is a maximum of 90cm wide x 120cm high.
· Posters will only be accepted for display if they are on one sheet only. Multiple sheets of A4 cannot be accommodated.
· All illustrations, drawings, photographs and text (including photo captions) should either be mounted or printed on smooth lightweight card 1mm thick or laminated. We recommend that posters are printed on one large sheet and, where possible, produced professionally.
· All material should be legible from a distance of TWO metres. Capitals should not be less than 8-10 mm/22-28 points in height and lower case lettering should be not less than 5mm/14 points in height.
· The top line(s) should give the title of your abstract with lettering not less than 2.5 cm/72 points high.
· The next line(s) should indicate the authors and their affiliations.
· Continue with the introduction, methods, results and discussion as appropriate. The poster should end with conclusions.
· Mounting will be available on the day
· Handouts and/or reduced photocopies of your poster for distribution to interested delegates are always appreciated. These should be prepared in advance of the meeting. Please bring an envelope/clear punched folder in which you may place A4 reprints of your poster or relevant material.
· Landscape posters will not be displayed.
Oral Presentations
Of all submissions received, some authors will be asked to deliver these as an oral presentation.
Presenters will be allocated a 10 minute slot to present their project. This will be made up of 7 minutes of presenting and 3 minutes of questions.
The outline of the presentation would be similar to those of the poster presentations.
A panel of judges will look to award prizes to stand-out poster and oral presentations on the day
