ISA2024 Poster and Presentation Guidelines

Poster Guidelines 

Poster presentations will be displayed according to the daily schedule of the conference in the poster display area within the exhibition space. We encourage you to stand near your poster to answer questions during the designated poster session.  

Size: Posters are required to be A0 in size (W:841mm x H:1189mm OR W:33.1 x H:46.8 inches) or smaller and in portrait orientation to fit the display panel. Nothing larger can be accommodated. 

Title: The title should be the same as in the submitted abstract. Your name(s) and Institution(s) should also be displayed on the poster.

Content: Ensure all text is large enough to be read from a distance of 1.5m. Keep the text concise and easy to read. Focus on presenting enough data to support conclusions rather than detailing your entire research history. Use diagrams and photographs instead of excessive data. Simplify and present methods clearly. Incorporate pictures, symbols, and colour. Provide short but informative figure legends. Graphs should have brief headings. Results should align with your original abstract submission.

Here are a few general size guidelines for you to consider
  • Title: 75 pt
  • Authors: 47 pt
  • Sub-heading: 35 pt
  • Body text: 24 pt
  • Caption: 18 pt
  • Font style: Arial and Verdana are pleasing to the reader’s eye

We encourage you to print off some A4 copies/handouts of your poster (including contact details) and place them with your poster for delegates to take.

Oral Presentation Guidelines

Speaker preparation area: each speaker has a 12-minute talk, followed by a 3-minute Q&A session. Please prepare your talk such that you will end on time. Session chairs will be advised to keep a strict timing. 

Uploading your presentation: Please see the AV team at the conference centre to load your presentation onto the system at least two hours before your scheduled presentation session. We recommend bringing two copies of your presentation on two separate USB sticks. If you have any technical questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the AV team for assistance. 

Your session: Be in the hall 5-10 minutes before the session starts and introduce yourself to the session chairs.
