Useful Presentation Tips

The abstract should summarize the pertinent results and conclusions. The introduction should state the purpose of the work in relation to previous work in the field. The results section should indicate the most important findings. The conclusions should give the interpretation and the significance of the results.

The references to previous work may be appropriate. Include your usual contact details (e.g. an Email address) to allow delegates to follow up any discussion.

Your display should consist chiefly of keywords , diagrams , photographs , etc. Colour photographs are particularly attractive in a poster display. Diagrams and graphs should have clear captions. All lettering should be easy to read. Handwritten text or diagrams are not recommended. All graphs and diagrams should be drawn with thick lines (preferably 1mm or more in width). Use colour to emphasise important features.

The poster display is important . You are recommended to take as much trouble with it as you did in preparing your written paper.
