Posters

  Thank you for submitting an abstract for a poster presentation at the Biomass-derived Pentoses conference. Poster presenters will be asked to set up their poster sometime during day 1 (Sunday, 22nd October 2006), preferably during the registration period before the conference starts. Posters will be viewed in a spacious poster room during a special 1¼ hour poster session that will take place during day 2. In addition, there will be other informal opportunities for poster viewing during breaks throughout the conference and in the evening for those who are staying in the conference venue hotel. Posters should be taken down before the start of the morning session of day 4 (25th October 2006).

For poster preparation, presenters are encouraged to prepare A0 format (119 × 84 cm) or Quand Demy (114.3 × 88.9 cm) presentations. Bigger posters will not fit on the boards. For set-up, fastenings of some kind will be supplied by the organizers.

 Besides the above guidelines, poster authors are invited to read some helpful suggestions listed below, which were taken from another conference website:

 The organization and flow of the poster needs to be very clear. Visually subordinate those things that are less important and draw attention to those of greater importance. Make clear the sequence in which the poster is to be viewed. 

 Keep explanatory text close to the figure it is explaining. Group related information together, and make the groups clear. A visually clear presentation will have a substantial mount of blank space. If elements are crammed too tightly, the poster will appear chaotic and be hard to follow. 

 Show rather than tell the story. Tables and figures should hold the main content of a successful poster. Graphics must dominate, and text should augment rather than overwhelm the illustrations. Do not use extensive text. Edit ruthlessly. It may help to have someone else help edit, since they are less attached emotionally to your words. 

 Make the poster accessible to browsers. Use a simple font. A mix of caps and lower case is easier to read than all caps. The title should be legible from 15 feet away. It should be assertive, clear, and catch the eye of the viewer. You may wish to shorten names and affiliations when they are too wordy. This information may be in slightly smaller type than the title. Main headings carry the essential content and should provide a complete take-home message and be visible at 6 feet. Supporting text follows the main headings and should be visible at 3 feet. Size 20 or 24 font may work well.

 Concisely state the main conclusion. Leave the reader no doubts about the take-home message. 

 Be prepared to answer questions and discuss ideas with the poster viewers. Be sure your contact information is placed on your poster.
