Printed posters on-site, optional E-posters online
For ISPAH 2024, the main poster presentations will be a presentation of a physical (printed) poster during one of the congress days.
Furthermore, all authors have the option to submit an E-poster that will be available via the congress website, before, during and after the congress. We had originally planned to have the E-posters displayed on digital screens during the congress as well, but the cost for this was too high.
Guidelines for preparing printed posters
- Posters should be printed in A0 size 841 x 1189mm (width x height)
- Poster orientation must be portrait
- Information should be summarized using brief written statements, graphic materials, such as photographs, charts, graphs, and diagrams
- Clear labels must be used for each section of the poster
- Text should be of sufficient size for easy reading at a distance of 1.5 meter (minimum font size of 28-32)
- Title must be displayed clearly on the poster and please include the names of the author(s) and the institution(s) of origin
- Tips and tricks for creating engaging posters can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYk29tnxASs and templates here https://osf.io/6ua4k/ – remembering your physical poster must be A0 Portrait.
- Please try to ensure that your printed poster is recyclable.
Please note: We have received several requests for recommendations on printing services in Paris. However, we do not have any partnerships or recommendations for printing services in the city. We advise you to conduct your own research to find a suitable printing service near your accommodation or print your poster before travelling.
Display and presentation of printed posters:
- Each printed poster will be displayed during one congress day, and authors are requested to be at their poster during the breaks on that day
- All poster-boards will display a poster-number, and authors are requested to find the board with their number to mount their poster before the first break on the day their poster is to be displayed
- Author/s are responsible for mounting and taking down their poster at the beginning and end of the day. Mounting tape will be provided
- Where possible, please ensure your poster is recycled.
Guidelines for optional E-Posters to be submitted via the congress abstract system:
- Your E-poster image should be in a standard JPEG or PNG format and no larger than 25MB in size.
- For standard resolution, your image should be landscape 1920px by 1080px, for high-quality resolution your image should be 3840px by 2160px. We would recommend you try where possible to ensure the final image file you upload is high-quality resolution.
- The image file will be uploaded to our event server in Paris, France so please wait until the upload progress bar has fully completed before selecting the submit option.
- On selecting the ‘Submit Abstract’ please wait until you can see the ‘Upload Successful’ message displayed.
- Please ensure you only upload the finished and final version of the e-poster image. Once the image has been submitted, you will not have the option to resubmit.
- E-posters will be available on the congress website from September 22 onwards.
Important Note: All E-Poster attachments must be submitted no later than September 30, 2024. To add your E-Poster attachment, please select the applicable abstract from your Abstract Dashboard and upload the attachment using the guidelines.
Important Note: The presenting author MUST be registered for the Congress and is responsible for the registration fees (and accommodation and travel costs where applicable). If there is a change in the presenting author, please notify the Organizing Committee by sending an email via our helpdesk form in your abstracts dashboard no later than September 30, 2024.
If the presenting author is not registered by September 30, the submission will be removed from the programme.
Please note: All abstracts are to be submitted in English. A lead author can submit a maximum of 2 abstracts. They may also be named on other abstracts as an additional author or presenter.
Communications: All communication regarding receipt and notice of your abstract will be via email. Please refer to our key dates page for important deadlines. Notifications will be sent on or before the dates specified there. An automated email will be sent with a unique Abstract ID. Please use this number in any communications. If you need to withdraw an abstract submission, please do so using the ‘Withdraw’ option on your Abstract dashboard.
Final Abstract Format: In an effort to accommodate as many presenters as possible, ISPAH has implemented a policy where only one abstract per author is selected for an oral or short-oral presentation. Those whose submissions are not included in the oral or short-oral sessions will have the opportunity to participate as poster presenters.
The final format of your abstract has been detailed in your abstract outcome email. Details can also be viewed on your Abstract dashboard.
