Preparing for your

Poster Presentation

This year we had a record number of submissions, so in order to maintain the symposium's commitment to a single-room event but still accommodate the growing number of participants, we have decided to hold one of the blocks as a poster session. This will give presenters more opportunities to engage with the audience at a deeper level and make our already lively event even more interactive.

Key information
  • Poster size: A1

    • 16-1/2 x 23-3/8 inches

    • 420 x 594 mm

  • Boards: 636x939mm

  • Clips will be provided

  • Presentation length: 35min

What is a poster presentation?

A poster presentation is a method of communicating research findings by displaying key information visually on a poster, allowing viewers to read and interact with the research at their own pace. It is usually accompanied by a brief verbal explanation from the presenter to discuss the details further. 

 

It should be more like a conversation than a one-way presentation. Think of it as an opportunity to gain feedback on your work, rather than just telling others about it.

Designing posters for a CA audience

Posters usually have the following elements.

  • Simple layout:

  • The information is presented through text, charts, and images on a poster, making it easy to scan and understand quickly. 

​

  • Interactive format:

    Unlike a traditional oral presentation, viewers can approach the poster at their leisure, ask questions directly to the presenter, and engage in discussion. 

​

  • Concise information:

    Due to the limited space on a poster, the presentation should focus on key findings, methods, and conclusions, often using bullet points and clear visuals.

​

You will need to adapt this to CA event. Consider:

  • incorporating transcripts that can be seen from a distance

  • using an iPad or laptop to show your video to a small audience

  • bringing headphones so the audience can hear the data in a loud room
