In order to communicate your ideas from your abstract effectively, please take the time to read the following instructions prior to preparing your poster.
REGISTRATION DETAILS
All poster presenters are required to register for the Congress by Sunday 8 November 2009.
CONGRESS CHECK IN
Presenters will need to present at the registration desk when they arrive at the Congress to collect their name badge and Congress materials. The registration desk will be located in the main entrance hall of the Conference building.
POSTER PRESENTATION TIME
During poster sessions (Tuesday and Thursday 17:00 – 18:30), authors of posters are encouraged to stand next to their poster to answer questions from delegates.
If authors are not able to present during their allocated session, the Congress Managers encourage authors to display their poster attendance card alongside their poster, as this will provide delegates with the times you will be available to discuss your poster display.
PREPARATION OF POSTERS
Posters should be a visual presentation of your submitted abstract.
Posters should meet the following criteria:
TITLE
The title should be the same as indicated in the original abstract.
CONTACT INFORMATION
Name, telephone number, E-mail address and website of all authors should appear on the poster.
SIZE
Posters must be no larger than 1.5 metre wide x 1.5 metres high. Posters larger than these dimensions will exceed the allocated space per poster and it will not be possible to display the poster during the Congress. It is therefore necessary that the poster adheres to the specified measurements.
LETTERING
The poster should be easily readable at a distance of two metres.
- The message that your poster conveys should be clear and understandable without the need for oral explanation. Methods should be presented simply and concisely.
- Handouts can be very useful, however please note that these cannot be placed on the floor for safety reasons. Handouts or poster packaging left on the floor will be removed. If you wish to supply handouts you must provide a holder that can be attached to your poster board with velcro.
Velcro dots will be supplied to attach your poster to the poster board. Pins securing posters are not effective as the poster boards are covered in a felt material.
We wish poster presenters all the best with their presentation. For further details or assistance please contact the Congress Managers.
Oral an Poster presentations can be sent to be published in a Special Issue of "Brazilian Journal of
Oceanography". Authors should look for the rules on the website:
