• Please use the board with the same number.
Please mount your poster on the board assigned to you in the ESPU Poster Area at the beginning
of the congress.
Please be present in the session room 15 minutes prior to the start of the session. An abstract
presenter must attend the whole session in which he/she is scheduled. A maximum set of 6 slides
(PowerPoint only) may be projected. Slides should be handed in at the Speakers‘ Service Centre
at least 2 hours prior to the session.
Do’s
• DO prepare a sign at the top of your poster indicating the abstract number, title of the pres-
entation and its authors and institutions. The lettering for this sign should be at least 2.5 cm
high.
• DO use block lettering (at least 1.25 cm high) for other portions of your presentation to add
emphasis and readability.
• DO post a reproduction of your abstract in the right upper corner of the board using a large
type script (using Bulletin typewriter).
• DO make all illustrations beforehand. Keep illustrative material simple in using charts, graphs,
drawings and pictures. Keep in mind that your illustrations must be read from a distance of
about 1–1.5 m or more.
• DO use matte (silk) finish for photographs as this will help diminish problems.
• DO make captions brief, labels few and make both clear.
• DO make posters as self-explanatory as possible.
• DO provide descriptive handouts if useful to attendees.
Dont’s
• DO NOT mount poster on heavy board, thus avoiding hanging problems.
• DO NOT use projection equipment (projectors are not supplied).
• DO NOT write or paint on the poster board as background for your poster.
• DO NOT use sticky tape to mount poster material (this will damage the poster board).
• DO NOT use a horizontal (landscape) display format.
