POSTER DIMENSIONS AND MOUNTING
The poster boards will be oriented vertically, and the maximum usable space of each board is 954 mm wide by 2410 mm long. An “A0” size poster (841 x 1189 mm) will fit well within this space. Please note that a poster identification card will be placed in the upper corner of each board. You will be provided with double-sided tape to mount your poster. If you will be displaying a fabric poster, you can bring clips to hang it over the top of the poster stand. Note that poster presentation boards will be assigned in a way that reduces crowding during each poster session.
PRINTING POSTERS
Two options are available for printing in Ghent:
MISTER COPY
Located at Overpoortstraat 52, 9000 Gent, about a 13-minute walk from Wintercircus.
UNIVERSITY PRESS
Located approximately 30 minutes from the city center, but will deliver posters to Wintercircus by noon on Monday, September 14. Follow this custom link for ordering information.
POSTER ABSTRACTS
Visit the poster session pages for lists of all posters by session and links to abstracts.
PRESENTING YOUR POSTER
Presenters are required to stand by their poster, and be available for questions and discussion with conference participants for at least one hour during their assigned poster session. The poster sessions provide an extremely valuable opportunity to discuss your results and ideas with colleagues.
PREPARATION TIPS
Posters should be prepared with clarity in mind, using easy to read fonts and font sizes, with a title that will be easily visible from 6–7 m away. Text should be kept to a minimum, and the main messages and conclusions conspicuously presented. Please avoid the use of red on green and vice versa to ensure that conference participants with difficulty differentiating between these colors are able to read all poster content. The Oceanography Society provides an excellent guide titled Scientifically Speaking which provides advice on preparing both poster and oral presentations.
