Instructions for poster presentations

  • The dimensions of the poster are 90cm wide x 180cm high (view sample below).


  • Each poster session author will be provided with a 90cm wide x 180cm high poster board area. The board will indicate the poster number in upper right or left corner.

  • Authors are responsible for mounting(11:30-12:30 hours) their own material within a set time and for removing(16:45-17:00 hours) it at the end of the day. Posters left up past that time will be discarded.

  • Your poster should be displayed as per the number in the Program.

  • Authors should wait there on Poster presentation's time and discuss as appropriate.

  • All illustrations, charts, etc., to be posted should be prepared in advance as materials for these purposes will not be available at the meeting site. SYSTED will provide a reasonable supply of detachable adhesive material

  • Each poster must include text in a large enough font (~20 point font) to be read easily by attendees from a distance of 4 to 5 feet or more. Lettering on illustrations should be large and legible. Photographs should be a minimum of 5 x 7 inches. Material should be displayed in logical sequence (Background, Purpose of study, Findings and Results, and Conclusions and Recommendations) and each sheet should be numbered.

  • The effectiveness of a poster presentation will be enhanced by using techniques such as mounting the sheets on colored construction paper, etc., to improve the graphic impact. Please note, however, that simplicity, ease of reading, etc., are more important than artistic flair. Illustrations should not be mounted on heavy stock as this could make them difficult to mount on poster boards.

  • Avoid overcrowding figures and cramming too many numbers into tables. Legends and titles should accompany all figures, tables, photographs, etc. in order to allow their immediate identification.

  • No commercial activities or any advertising may be displayed on the posters. Non-compliance with this rule will result in the poster being removed.

  • Requests for extra space to accommodate models or equipment should be made at the time of abstract submission in the Conflicts/Comments box on the abstract form and are subject to approval.

  • Authors may wish to bring extra copies of their data and conclusions. No duplication facilities will be available through SYSTED. Authors may also wish to provide sign-up sheets for attendees who may wish additional information, reprints, etc.
