Poster Session
Poster Presentation
The posters will be presented by their authors during the cocktail to be served on Tuesday, September 22nd,
2009 on the Santa Fe Brewery Company. A poster board will be available during the poster presentation having
dimensions of 1.5 m in height by 2 m in width. There will be two posters presented side by side in each board,
so please prepare your posters with a size no larger than, or equal to 1.20 m in height by 0.85 m in width so
that both posters fit comfortably on the poster board.
Layout
Please, prepare your poster for the RCEM 2009 Symposium according to the following rule:
Poster format: A0 - portrait
Maximum height: 1.20 m
Maximum width: 0.85 m
Each poster must have a heading in very large type, 84 pt or greater. Your name and affiliation should also be noted in
large type, around 72 pt. Text and lettering on illustrations or charts should be between 18 and 24 pt. Use a simple font
such as Times, Arial or Helvetica throughout your presentation. You can also frame a section of text by putting a box
around it. All material should be readable from a distance of 1.5 m or more. Any format that fits in the available space
is acceptable.
Try to use a minimum amount of text in your poster and to maximize the use of colour figures to present the results.
For that purpose use lowercase fonts with approximately 8 mm in size.
