Having prepared your poster, you may have it printed in Marrakech.

• The usable area of the poster boards is 1150 mm wide by 1400 mm high. It is recommended that posters be prepared directly onto A0 sheets - 841 mm wide by 1189 mm high - or at least onto large (A1 or A2) sheets. Posters made by taping together A4 or quarto sheets tend to look amateurish.
  
  
• The lettering should be large enough to be read by someone standing 2 m back from the poster. The following text sizes are suggested:
  
  
  • Title: 2-3 cm
  • Authors' names and affiliations: 1½ - 2cm
  • Section headings (ABSTRACT, RESULTS, etc.): 1½ - 2 cm
  • The text itself should be of the order of 5-10 mm high.
  
  
• For clarity, use lots of diagrams, lots of colour, and not many words.
  
  
• Use phrases and short sentences in "bullet points".
  
  
• It is recommended that the poster be divided into sections:
  
  
  • a one or two sentence abstract;
  • problem definition and/or aims;
  • methods;
  • results;
  • conclusions.
  
  
• The rules for the preparation of good slides apply equally to the preparation of good posters:
  
  
  • keep them simple
  • avoid overcrowding and excessive information
  • use large lettering and thick lines
  • "one picture is worth a thousand words"
  
  
• The organisers immodestly offer one of their own posters as an example. (It is a big file, and takes some time to load.)
  
  
• Posters are to be attached to the poster room walls using reusable tack ("blutac" or similar) which will be supplied, and not by thumb tacks (drawing pins) or adhesive tape.
