The conference organizers will provide one sturdy green felt-covered plywood display board (36 inches wide by 48 inches tall), a stand, and pushpins for each poster. Presenters must use the provided display board that corresponds to their number in the scientific program as backing for her/his presentation. Authors are responsible for bringing any other materials they may require during the presentation (e.g., copies of poster handouts and article reprints; notepad, pencils, and pens; and contact information).
Suggestions for Poster Presentations
Poster Content
Key elements include:
- A succinct title, author name(s), and institution affiliation(s)
- Introduction and/or brief review of relevant literature
- Methods
- Results (with supporting figures)
- Conclusion and implications
Note that it is not necessary to display a copy of your abstract. Please provide clear labels for
each section of your poster presentation. Your poster content should be able to answer the questions:
"What information do I give at first glance", "How does my presentation contribute to the theme of this meeting?"
Title
Indicate the poster title, author name(s), and affiliation(s)at the top of the poster
Lettering should legible from a distance
Text
Text should be visible from several feet away
Use large type in short separated paragraphs
Do not set entire paragraphs in boldface or capital letters
Minimize narrative
Numbered or bulleted lists are a concise and effective way to convey information
The main points should be apparent without extended viewing, but details should be included for those who might wish to discuss them.
Illustrations
Figures should be easily seen from a distance. Use clear graphics and large type to accomplish easy viewing.
Because the amount of text is restricted, the figure legend can contain some of the commentary that would
usually be contained in the body of a manuscript.
Presentation
The poster should be complete and self-supporting but succinct.
The language should be clear and the message comprehensible to viewers from different disciplines
The presenter should be prepared to supplement or discuss particular points raised during inquiry.
Feel free to distribute copies of the poster (or paper on which it is based) with your contact information to interested viewers.
Please feel free to contact the meeting organizers at cspp09@uoguelph.ca with any questions.
