2) Poster Presentation

Use schematic diagrams, graphs, tables and other strategies to direct the visual attention
of the viewer, rather than explaining it using text.

Address one main question. State the question clearly in the poster and use your
presentation to provide a clear and explicit take-home message.

3) Abstract Presentation Number

Include your abstract presentation number in a large font in the upper left corner of your
poster. Your poster number would be assigned by the Organizers and email to you.

4) What will you need?

You will be provided a space approximately 90 cm high x 100 cm wide. Prepare your
poster so that it makes the most of this space, but does not exceed the area. We
recommend you to bring 30 copies of a handout of your poster that includes your full
contact information (this is optional).
5) Poster Dismantle

Please dismantle your poster on time!. Presenters are responsible for dismantling
posters. Posters left behind at the close of the dismantle period will be disposed of and
are not the responsibility of Congress Organizers.

6) Content

Posters have a similar structure to a research paper: abstract, introduction, materials and
methods, results, and a conclusion or summary. You may also want to list key
references. If your poster is more clinically-oriented, you may elect to use a different
format, but breaking things down into clear sections with headings to help your
colleagues understand your poster.

7) Format

 Use bullet points to simplify sections like the introduction and conclusions.
 Use large fonts, such as 36-point for section headings, and 24-point for text.
 Use graphs and figures whenever possible.
 Make your poster visually pleasing and attractive.
 Include your abstract presentation number in a large font on the upper left corner of
your poster so attendees can easily locate your abstract.
