Call for abstracts

The deadline for abstract submission has passed and the abstract submission portal is now closed.

Poster guidelines

Poster sessions will be held on Monday, Tuesday or Thursday evenings and you are required to be in attendance at your poster during your allocated session time.

Posters will not be displayed for the duration of the congress. You will be advised when your poster should be put up on your poster board and when it should be removed.

Poster board numbers will be provided in due course.

How should posters be constructed?

  • Poster size: 841 mm wide x 1189 mm high (AO size). Posters larger than this size cannot be accommodated.
  • Posters must be prepared in portrait format.
  • Posters are to be printed.
  • Velcro adhesive will be provided to fix your poster to the numbered poster board.

What should a poster contain?

  • The poster should have a title banner that includes the study title, names and affiliations of authors.
  • The poster should present a concise summary of your study.
  • You do not need to include your abstract on the poster.

What fonts and colours should be used on the poster?

Use large fonts to make your poster more readable. The following font sizes are recommended:

  • Title Bar: 42-48 point bold, title of study in all capitals.
  • Headers: 30-36 point bold (for example, Introduction, or Objectives).
  • Body Text: at least 20 point (should be able to read from a distance of 2 metres).

Black or dark blue text on white will be easiest to read.

Visually appealing materials (photographs, maps, graphs, etc.) will make the poster more attractive, and they should be included to complement the text of your poster.
