Schedule and Location:
Posters will be displayed in the Hall near the Registration Desk.
Poster presenters are requested to be available in the display area on the first and second days of the conference to answer questions (exact time to be determined).
Poster Specifications:
- Presentations should be based on displayed material.
- Use lightweight materials (not cardboard). A4 sheets of paper are recommended.
- Presenters must provide their own title-signs. Lettering should be about 5 cm high (2 1/2 inches).
- Display materials should fit within the area of the poster board (roughly the size of 2 A4 sheets x 4 A4 sheets, or 50 cm wide x 140 cm high) and should be legible from a distance of 3-4 metres (10 feet-12 feet).
General Advice:
- Your poster should contain selected information about your research. Explain your research question and key conclusions
- The display should be designed to take advantage of the fact that the presentation need not be "linearly ordered" as in a talk or written paper. For example, arrows directing the viewer to various parts of the display and colour-coding of different aspects of the work may be used to advantage.
- Creative use of graphic detail, such as drawings, charts and tables, is recommended. Remember: A picture is worth a thousand words.
- Use different font sizes to your advantage to allow important information to be seen at a glance.
- Make sure others can identify you. Put the logo of your organization on your poster and add this logo to your name badge (e.g., university pin, sticker, etc.). Add a picture of yourself to your poster, so that delegates can find you, even when you are not around your poster.
- Distribute your business card to interested delegates.
- Produce a brief handout which summarises your poster and provides your contact details and distribute to interested delegates.
After the Conference:
Please remove your posted materials by noon on the last day of the Conference. Any materials left on the poster board afterwards will be removed and discarded. ISIC 2006 is not responsible for any materials left behind at the completion of the Conference.
