Preparing Poster Presentations
Top 10 tips for preparing your posterCongratulations! You have been invited to present your poster at Forum 11.
Poster Sessions will be held in the Jiuhua Convention Center and Resort each morning from 30 October to 1 November 2007 during the coffee break from 10:00 to 10:45.
Following, you will find top 10 tips for preparing your poster:
1) Please do not mount the text of your full paper, or PowerPoint presentation, as a poster.
2) Title Display the title in big lettering so it is clearly visible. Forum 11 participants will be given your name and the title of your abstract; it will be easier for them to find you!
3) Headings Use headings to bring your main message(s) across. The more important the point, the larger the type.
4) Content When planning the content of your poster, ask yourself what is the basic information you would need to know about this project if you were a viewer. This is the text you should clearly state.
5) K.I.S.S.Keep It Simple and Stupid! Don't complicate your text and visuals. Limit the amount of text; keep it brief and to the point. Viewers will not bother to read a lot of text. Don't try to cover too many points. Avoid being too technical and full of jargon.
6) Visuals
Alongside the text, use visuals to 'tell your story'. Use photographs, graphs, maps, etc. Make sure they are related to the text. And once again, keep it simple! If the graphs are too complex, they will not be understood, and disinterest viewers.
7) Colours
Black type is best. Use two or three additional muted colours to highlight key texts or themes consistently.
8) Visual guides Use white space creatively to help define the flow of information. Arrows, hands, numbers and symbols can clarify sequence.
9) 'Speech' Before the poster session, make sure you have a brief summary of your project well rehearsed as some participants will want a quick 'guided tour' of your poster.
10) Marketing
You can provide details during coffee breaks
Have copies of the poster available for distribution
Provide pre-printed abstracts/full paper with your contact information
Bring a good supply of visiting cards
