Poster Guidelines.

Purpose

A poster gives you the opportunity to present your research visually. Poster presentations provide an opportunity for interchange of ideas between the presenter and audience interested in his/her research. When presenting your research in a poster, use the poster as a means to catch people’s attention, generate interest and start discussions.

What key questions to address?

What do you want the viewer to remember? Do important points stand out? The key to a good poster is clarity and simplicity. Do not overload the poster.
Is there a balance between words/illustrations? Use figures, tables, graphs and photographs when appropriate; keep text brief.
Is the pathway through the poster clear? Make it obvious to the viewer how to progressively view the poster. Numbering the individuals panels, or connecting them with arrows helps to guide the viewer through your poster.
Is the poster understandable without oral explanation? Everyone may not have the opportunity to watch your presentation.

What points to include on my poster?

short title/ question
an introduction to your research question,
an overview of your approach,
your results (in graphical form),
discussion/ questions related to your results a listing of relevant articles that are important to your research, and some brief acknowledgement collaborators, assistance, and financial support

Designing your Poster

Presenter should prepare a PDF version of their poster.
Presenters should prepare a video of their poster presentation (max 3 mins to be submitted by YouTube or Vimeo URL link to the video).
All text should be created using a text processing computer programme. Blocks of text should not exceed three paragraphs.
Use a minimum font size of 18 points for you standard text. Lettering for the title should be large (at least 70-point font).
A good overall word count is 800 words or less. Width of text boxes should be about 40 characters (11 words per line). Use of bullets and numbering lists makes the content easier to read.
Make sure that all visuals are self-explanatory (i. e., graph axes are properly labelled, symbols are explained, etc.).
If using graphics and illustrations, ensure that you have the necessary resolution and the necessary copyright.
Use colour sparingly to highlight and emphasise your points, do not overload your poster. Go for contrast to increase readability.

Virtual Presentation Instructions

During the Session: Please be at your poster during the designated poster session to answer questions about your work. If you applied for the poster prize, a member of the jury will visit you during this period. Delegates may also visit you during conference breaks so it is recommended to man the poster where possible.
Your Poster and presentation video will be added to the Virtual Conference Platform. Conference attendees will be able to ask you live questions.
Instructions for using the Virtual Conference Platform will be provided in advance.

Help & Support: If you have any questions, please contact live support and we will assist you in any way possible.

Registration and Abstract Submission now open! The Photonics Ireland Conference will take place virtually from 14-16 June 2021.
