Poster Presentation Guidelines
Please read all information carefully before arriving at the meeting. These guidelines will help ensure that your presentation goes smoothly.
- What does it mean to be a poster presenter? Authors giving poster presentations will have the opportunity to display their research using text and figures (tables, photos, graphics, etc.) displayed on poster boards and engage with attendees interested in their work.
- WCR2024 will display digital poster
- The Poster Hall will contain different posters organized by topic, and each presenter will be assigned a specific date and time to present at their poster.
- Presenters will be assigned to a specific day to display and present their poster at WCR2024 Abu Dhabi.
- Each poster will only be displayed for one day.
- Presenters are required to register as speaker.
Poster size and layout:
WCR Digital Poster Specifications:
- Orientation: Portrait
- Resolution: Set the dimensions of your poster to 1080 (Horizontal) x 1920 (vertical) pixels. This ensures that the content aligns with the native resolution of a Full HD TV screen, providing crisp and clear visuals.
- Aspect Ratio: Maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio for the poster. The 16:9 ratio is a standard widescreen format widely used in television and multimedia presentations. This ratio ensures that the poster fits seamlessly on a Full HD TV without any distortion. Remember to keep the orientation portrait.
- File Format: Save your poster file in JPEG format. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a commonly used image format that provides good compression without a significant loss of image quality. It is widely supported by various devices, including TVs
By adhering to these specifications, you ensure that your poster is optimized for display on a Full HD TV, delivering a visually appealing and properly formatted image. Always consider the display characteristics of the target device to create content that maximizes its visual impact.
Content Requirements
- When presenting data and health information (including photos), all presenters must have informed consent compliant with human subjects and applicable HIPAA regulation.
- If the abstract has been previously published, authors must indicate on their poster the date and publication.
Designing Effective & Accessible Posters
- We do not have a required poster presentation template; however, one recommended format is the APA modern format.
- Identify 2-3 principal messages you must convey. Choose a title that captures your main point.
- Prepare a heading at the top of your poster indicating the abstract title, authors, and affiliations.
- Lettering should be at least 1″ (2.54 cm) high and readable from distances of at least 3′ (90 cm). Sans-serif fonts are recommended.
- Simple use of color can add emphasis, but authors should ensure everything can be understood without color in cases of color-blindness.
- Summarize current research in graphic form whenever possible; use charts, tables, graphs, pictures, etc., and minimize the amount of text.
- Provide information in smaller type below the heading. Details of methodology should be brief and should be placed at the end of the legend. Keep visuals simple and clear.
- Provide a QR code or a short url that links to your full paper. Be sure to provide alt text for any images.
- Arrange materials in columns and use 'white space' to help direct readers logically through your poster.
- Be wary of overcrowding the poster.
- Posters should be self-explanatory but not comprehensive. You will supplement and elaborate during your conversations with other attendees.
