Guidelines for poster presentations

< Abstract submission

Please prepare your abstract with the audience in mind. Most UKNSCC delegates are clinicians and will appreciate a clinical focus to your proposed presentation.
 
Please note that if you would like to present data on abstinence from smoking we normally require CO-verified data to be presented. If you are not presenting CO-verified abstinence data then please supply a rationale for this.

 

1. When preparing your poster for presentation please bear in mind that there will be a large number of delegates, so for the poster to have maximum value it should possible to read it from a distance of at least several feet. Information should be typed in large typeface. Charts, figures and illustrations should be simple and bold. Readability is the key.

2. Ensure that at the top of your poster your presentation title and the name(s) of the author(s) are clearly stated.

3. Abstracts scheduled for poster presentations will be numbered and listed in the conference programme. Your assigned number will be in the upper left hand side of the poster board.

4. Each presenter will be assigned a 150cm (height) by 100cm (width) (4.92’ by 3.28’) VERTICAL poster board space. The net area available for your poster will be 144cm (height) by 94cm (width) (4.72’ by 3.08’). Attachment to the poster board is by poster pins and there will be supplies of these available at the conference reception desk. You may not write on or mark the poster boards.

5. Each author is responsible for the assembly and removal of their poster.

6. The poster sessions have a designated time in which presenters are requested to be available at their poster to discuss its contents with conference delegates. You will be notified of these times if your posted is accepted.
