- Use a constant font throughout the poster.
- Use a black and bold type to ensure legibility and let your important points stand out.
- We suggest that you show the preferred sequence in which your poster should be reviewed; this can be done by using 3 – 5 columns so the eye movement is down the columns.
- Highlight your main findings. Don’t hide your conclusions, consider putting them at eye level, at the top of the right column or alternatively start with the Conclusions. Otherwise, we suggest that you structure your poster by Introduction, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. State your aims in the end of the introduction.

Other Recommendations:
- If possible, avoid abbreviations and acronyms, especially in the Conclusion section.
- Seek simplicity, keep text to a minimum and avoid redundancies.
- Feel free to provide one or more key references.
- Prepare a short (< 60 seconds) oral guide through your poster to be offered to those that prefer your words before reading for themselves.
- Handouts of your abstract/poster are allowable. We encourage you to include your email address on your poster or handout, so anyone interested may contact the abstract author about questions, comments, or future research inquiries.
