Guidelines for Preparation and Display of Poster
Posters provide a visual summary of your research for conference delegates. They should be self-explanatory, allowing viewers to understand the content independently, while you can discuss specific points during interactions.
Format: Posters must be a single sheet, 90 cm in width and 120 cm in height, in portrait format. Language: Posters should be in English, with clear labels and headlines. Contents: Include the title, author(s) name, affiliations, email ID, and Poster ID at the top. Add 14AFAF logo. The content should cover Introduction, Material and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, References, and Acknowledgements (if any), in a double-column format. Text: Use concise, bulleted summaries. Avoid long sentences. Font: Follow the guidelines in the provided poster template for font size and style, using ‘Calibri, Arial, Segoe UI ’ or similar fonts. Avoid curved and fancy typefaces. Visuals: Include tables, figures, and photos, with appropriate legends and size. Mounting: Posters will be mounted on designated panels. Organizing staff will assist with location and provide double-sided tape. General Tips: Keep the poster simple and uncluttered. Prepare visuals first, then add text. Rehearse a brief summary of your work for viewers.
