Guidelines for preparing posters for ICTRT 2013

A Poster Session is a graphic presentation of an author's research. The authors illustrate their findings by displaying graphs, photos, diagrams and a small amount of text on the poster boards. Specific guidelines for preparing posters are as follows

  1. The poster should be prepared in portrait orientation with a size of 0.8m wide x 1.2m height.  Please ensure that your poster does not exceed this size.
  2. Presentations should be kept simple and clear and a mixture of text and graphics is recommended.
  3. The poster should be well labelled and legible from a distance of 10 to 15 feet away.
  4. Use large type in short, separated paragraphs. Numbered or bulleted lists are effective ways to convey a series of points. Do not set entire paragraphs in uppercase (all capitals) or boldface type.
  5. Titles and captions should be short and easy to read, in a Times New Roman font for preference. Use large lettering as this means a number of people can read the poster from a distance without overcrowding. Remember to caption your poster with the abstract title, names of authors and affiliations.
  6. Use of 50 point size for title and 25 point size for text is recommended.
  7. Figures should be designed to be viewed from a distance and should use clear, visible graphics and large type. Each figure or table should have a heading of one or two lines. Additional essential information should be provided below in a legend. Photographs should have good contrast and sharp focus.
  8. Materials should be printed on coloured poster paper/ photo paper/flex/ vinyl . Use matt finish rather than glossy paper for better presentation.
  9. The posters will be pasted on fibre/ wooden panels with the help of double-sided cello tapes that will be provided by the organisers.
  10. Posters will be displayed serially and each poster will be provided with a code number for easy identification.
  11. Please ensure that you stand by your poster(s) during your session for discussion and answering questions raised by conference participants.
