Guidelines for Poster Presenters

Poster Presentations will be held in the Exhibit Area, located on the 5th Floor of the Palais des Congrès de Montréal.

Setup

Posters presentations are scheduled every day of the Assembly between 15:00 and 16:30.  All presenters should verify the day on which they are scheduled to present their poster by querying their own names on the MOCA-09 Session Planner at: https://www.csoconferences.org/ei/rs.esp?id=184&scriptid=sppp1

In order to maximize delegates’ viewing time, posters will be mounted for more than one day.  Three viewing periods have been planned: 

• Period 1, which includes posters that will be presented on July 20 or 21;
• Period 2, which includes posters that will be presented on July 22, 23 or 24; and
• Period 3, which includes posters that will be presented on July 27, 28 or 29.

While the posters will be accessible during all the Assembly’s open hours and for more than one day, presenters are only required to be in attendance on their scheduled day, from 15:00 to 16:30.

Authors are asked to mount their posters on the first morning of their viewing period beginning at 7:30 and should be completed before 15:00 , in order to be ready for the start of that day’s poster session.  The posters should remain in place until the removal period, 16:30 – 18:30 on the last day of their viewing period.  A complete list of assigned poster boards will be available onsite.

Surface availability
Each poster presenter is allocated the following landscape surface 104 cm high x 145 cm wide (41” x 57") made of a soft material that accepts Velcro (provided).  A supply of Velcro will be available in the poster area for mounting posters

IMPORTANT NOTE: Authors are asked to not exceed their surface allocation, as otherwise they will be encroaching on an other author’s assigned space.

Suggested Formatting Guidelines

1. Poster material must be prepared in advance and should be large enough to be viewed from a distance of one metre
2. Each poster should have a label at the top that indicates the title of the paper, the name(s) of the author(s) and their affiliation(s). The size of the characters for the title should be at least 2.5 cm (1”) high.
3. Drawings and charts should be clear and simple.
4. A suggested arrangement for posters is illustrated below:
