E-Poster Presentation Guidelines

• As always in a scientific presentation, the e-poster should include:

• Statement of the problem

• Significance of the problem

• Description of the research method

• Presentation of results or expected results

• Summary of the work and conclusions

A poster is very different from a paper or a talk, and so, different techniques need to be used in its preparation. You will be required to submit a 300-word abstract upon submission via the website.

• Posters should be designed to: Catch the viewer's attention, quickly acquaint the viewer with the basics of your subject, and make the viewer want to learn more.

• An E-poster is a digital version of a poster presentation. The e-poster may include text, figures, charts, tables, images, and artwork but does not include any audio, video, web links, or animation.

• As an e-poster presenter, you are asked to prepare a single PDF page, using that will be displayed at EOC 2023 on a widescreen monitor.

• The e-poster PDF file should be submitted with pixels width 1080px and height 1920px.

• Font size: The font size should be 20pt or bigger.

Images and tables:

• You are welcome to use images and tables in your presentation.

• Avoid overlapping, animated objects or serial animations.

• All graphs and tables must be embedded in your file and have titles

• Avoid animated GIF files and be mindful of copyrights and personal anonymity with

• your images or photos.

• Do not insert or embed any videos in your presentation.

• Use squares, rectangles, circles, etc., to group similar ideas. Avoid cluttering your poster with too much text. Label different elements as I, II, III or 1, 2, 3 or A, B, C, making it easier for the viewers to follow your display.

Restrictions:
