Preparation of Posters  

Instructions on the preparation of poster displays will be sent to authors upon notification of the abstract's acceptance, however an indication of what is required is listed below.

Poster should meet the followin criteria.

Size
Posters should be no larger than 1m x 1m. Posters larger than these dimensions will exceed the display board; it is therefore necessary that the poster adhere to the specified measurements.
Lettering
The poster should be easily readable at a distance of two metres. Use UPPER and lower case for general content as the use of all-capital text is difficult to read. Avoid using mixtures of type/font styles. Left justify text as it is easier on the eyes of the reader.
