POSTER PRESENTATION
Poster presenters will have assigned times at which they will have to present and discuss the poster with other attendees of the poster session. See the programme for full details. Discussion will be encouraged and facilitated by assigned session facilitators.
Poster set up: Posters are requested to be set up either on Wednesday 30th September 2015 between 14:00-18:00 or Thursday 1st October 2015 prior to the first morning tea/coffee break. A team of volunteers will be available to help you set up your poster in the correct location. Your poster number and location will be provided when you arrive on site.
If possible, please attach a photo of the presenting author on the poster (either embedded or separately attached). Authors are responsible for setting up and also removing their poster. The WMS Congress Secretariat will not be responsible for loss of the poster after removal time.
There is no facility to print posters at the congress itself and presenters will need to bring the poster with them, the venue will not accept posters delivered ahead of the congress.
Poster removal: Authors are responsible for the removal of their poster by no later than 14:30 on Sunday 4th October 2015. Any posters still in place at 16:00on Sunday 4th October 2015 will be regarded as rubbish.
Poster size: Posters should be made in portrait orientation, maximum size DIN A0 (118.9 cm high, 84.1 cm wide). If your poster does not match these dimensions we cannot guarantee that it will fit the poster boards. Each poster will be allocated a display number which will be given to you on the day. You will be given 4 pieces of Velcro of size approximately 2cm each to attach your poster to the board when you come to the registration desk on arrival. We recommend that you are by your poster to answer questions etc. during specific guided poster session times.
Early career and first time prize nominations: Poster presenters who are eligible for the young presenter and/or first time presenter awards (indicated during abstract submission) will obtain the necessary marks for their posters at registration.
