Poster Sessions
We intend to make posters a really prominent feature of the meeting because they are such an excellent medium for stimulating discussion, debate and exchanging ideas. All posters will be displayed for the duration of the meeting in the LCR in Union House where we will have our tea/coffee and lunch breaks.
There will be a dedicated poster session on Tuesday 4 September from 1400-1700 when refreshments will also be provided.
Our poster boards are size A0 (85cm by 115cm – portrait style only please) and posters will have to be fixed using the Velcro hooks supplied. Please be sure to make your poster to fit, make the title and author line prominent enough to be legible by someone standing ~2 metres away and add a photograph of the presenting author to the poster header. We would also encourage you to make A4 poster printouts to distribute to conference participants and to bring along reprints of any relevant publications.
There will be a prize for the best poster which will be given out at the Conference Dinner.
