Guidelines for poster presentations
Please prepare your poster with the audience in mind. Most UKNSCC delegates are clinicians and will appreciate a clinical focus to your poster.

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.

• 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.

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

• Each person will be allocated a poster board.

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

• 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 velcro tape only and there will be supplies of these available at the conference reception desk. Please note you may not write on, use pins or mark the poster boards in any way.

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

• 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. Times are given in the programme.
