POSTER DIMENSIONS AND MOUNTING

Please see the photo for an example of the poster room arrangement. Note that poster presentation boards will be assigned in a way that reduces crowding during each poster session.

PRINTING POSTERS

Details on poster printing resources in Las Palmas will be provided as soon as they are available.

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.
