Posters

  • Format: A1 landscape or A1 portrait.
  • Note that A0 posters will not fit the poster boards and will be excluded from poster sessions.
  • Although we will have some Velcro dots for fixing posters to boards, we suggest you bring your own if you can, so that you can affix your poster without delay.

  • Demonstrators must provide their own screens and computer equipment.
  • The venue (Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront) is responsible for Wi-Fi and Internet connection, not the conference organisers.
