Poster format
As always, poster presentations will be at the heart of this year’s symposium. Poster sessions will be held on Tuesday 30th and Wednesday 31st May 2017, with all coffee and lunches held in the industrial exhibition and poster presentation area in order to facilitate discussions between delegates, exhibitors and presenters. During the Symposium itself, we have scheduled two poster viewing times during the Symposium on Friday (45 mins and 30 mins duration; see programme) giving presenters lots of time to not only read and discuss the posters, but also to help choose the posters worthy of prize awards. Posters should fit on 2m tall x 1m wide (portrait style) poster boards.
