- Microsoft PowerPoint 2007(*.pptm,*.pptx)
- OpenOffice.org (*.odp)
- Portable Document Format (*.pdf)
In all these formats, please make sure all your fonts and images are embeddeb, not only linked. In order to improve portability, authors are encouraged to save your presentation at least in two of these formats.
Each paper presentation is scheduled in 20 minutes including discussion. Please be sure your presentation will take 15-17 min. to allow 3-5 min. of discussion.
Poster Instructions
- Paper size A0: 841mm (33.11in) width x 1189mm (46.82in) height
- Paper orientation: portrait
- The poster must include paper title, author names and affiliation.
- For the title, consider using a large, bold san-serif font, such as Helvetica Bold,Arial Black, Franklin Gothic Heavy, Tahoma, Trebuchet, or Verdana. Make the font size between 72-120 points.
- For the subtitles (authors' names, school name, etc.), use the same font as your title but make the font size smaller than the title. A font size between 48-80 points usually works best.
- For the section headers (Abstract, Introduction, Results, etc.), use the same font as your title and subtitle. Make the font size approximately 50% larger than the body text, between 36-72 points. Make sure that all section headers are the same font size.
- For the body text, choose a serif type that is very readable, like Garamond, Book Antigua or Bookman Old Style. Make the font size between 24-48 points. Make sure that the body text is the same font throughout the entire posters.
- DON'T USE ALL CAPS for any portion of your poster. It is harder to read and it looks like you are shouting.
- Be conservative. This is important for two reasons. First of all, familiar fonts are easier for your audience to read. Secondly, your poster will be printed from a different computer besides your own. If you use a font that is not installed on that computer, a different font will be substituted instead. (If it is absolutely critical that an uncommon font be used on your poster, you can save it as a PDF or contact your printer to see if they can install your font.)
- Prefer a mat to a glossy surface
- Avoid extended text runs
- Try to come up with an original and interesting layout
- Liberally use graphical elements, such as clipart, pictures, diagrams, graphs and others
- Markup the poster areas using large color expanses
- A good presenter is important part of a good poster!
