OTHER TEXT: Text in the body of the poster should be 22-26pt or larger.

CONTENT: Use these tips to help develop a great poster. The poster should:

• Be a visual representation of your submitted abstract
• Be self-explanatory in the event you are not there to explain the content
• Include an introduction, body and a list of conclusions
• Make the flow of information is explicit and easy for the eye to follow eg. organise the poster in columns running down the poster rather than in rows
• Use numbering and bulleting to highlight important points
• Use short sentences
• Not be loaded with large amounts of data, methodology or reference lists
• Have short titles for each illustration

Alternatively have a sheet for people to submit their names and email address to send them a copy when they return home. You may also wish to provide your contact details, so those interested can follow up any queries they have at a later date.
