Speakers are requested to bring their presentation on a USB memory stick in either Office 2010 or .pdf format and
preload it onto the PC/laptop located in the lecture theatre. Speakers should save their presentation into the
appropriate pre-named session folders pre-set on the desktop and files should be saved by speakers surname and

Displaying and removing posters
Posters can be mounted from 10:30 on Monday 18 May and must be removed by 11:00 on Friday 22 May. Any
posters not removed by this time, will be recycled.
Dimensions
Posters must be no larger than A0 in size (118.9 x 84.1cm / 46.8 x 33.1 inches), in a portrait format if your poster
does not fit within these dimensions, we cannot guarantee it will be displayed. Fixing material will be supplied.
Content
Posters are a visual presentation of your research and as such we recommend that you use schematic diagrams,
graphs and tables, where possible, rather than just text. Please use an appropriate sized font so the information is
legible at a distance of 1 metre.
Your poster should include the title, author's name, and affiliations with the presenting author underlined. We
recommend that this information is placed top centre of the page. For the poster, we recommend that you include
an abstract, method section, results section and a conclusion or summary. You might also want to list key
references or acknowledgements. If you decide to structure your poster differently, please ensure you format the
poster with clear headings and keep text to a minimum.
