Poster Preparation
- Each presenter will be allocated one numbered board. The maximum
size allowed for your poster is:
Poster size – 85cm wide x 120cm high (portrait format)
This is the maximum size allowed for your poster
You must follow these directions – larger posters may not
be displayed at the meeting!
- Velcro for attaching your poster to the board will be available
at the meeting.
- Posters are usually more attractive when mounted onto a single
background rather then being mounted on the board as several separate
sheets.
- The Organisers will provide the poster board numbers.
- You are invited to bring copies of your poster on A4 sheets
to hand out to interested delegates.
Science Posters design service
If you only have access to limited illustration or
printing resources you may wish to consider using a design firm.
Scienceposters, a specialised design business offering clinical
and scientific graphic design services, design and print conference
posters at a very competitive rate.
Science Posters was used by 3 presenters at the 2006
Southampton meeting, who commented as follows:
- SciencePosters were brilliant. Excellent formatting, poster
design and punctual delivery. I'd gladly use them again.
- Scienceposters provided an extremely prompt and efficient service
and worked hard to produce the desired product. I would have no
hesitation in using them again and have already recommended them
to colleagues.
- I did use Scienceposters services. I think it is the best ever
services I can think of. It was extremely fast and at a very short
notice. My poster would not have been possible without them.
