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. Please 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 Tuesday 2nd October 2018 between 14:00-18:00 or Wednesday 3rd October 2018 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.

Poster printing: The congress has made arrangements with Laser print - Ing. Rodolfo Saitta for delegates to print their posters locally. Please contact them directly for more information: Email: info@lasermendoza.com.ar Web: www.lasermendoza.com.ar. Attendees will need to make their own arrangements. Posters delivered to the congress venue must not arrive before Monday 1st October 2018 and are sent at the senders own risk. If possible, please attach a photo of the presenting author on the poster (either included in the poster printing or separately attached).

Poster presentation during Saturday morning poster highlights session: Please can each poster presenter also prepare 3-5 PowerPoint slides (including introduction, main findings, main messages, acknowledgement) plus indicate their email address on the poster in case the poster is selected for a flash poster presentation during the Saturday morning poster highlights session. Presenters will be informed by the WMS Committee during the congress that they will be presenting in this session. Please also make sure the presenters email address is on the poster so that interested people can make contact.

Poster removal: Authors are responsible for the removal of their poster by no later than 14:30 on Saturday 6th October 2018.

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 find pieces of Velcro on the poster boards. 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.
