Posters (Numbers, Titles & Presenters)
How big should my poster be?
Maximum A0 size. Please prepare your poster so that it fits on a vertical A0 sized poster wall.
Where and when should/can I hang up my poster?
Each poster is assigned a number (e.g. S1P1, S1P2, etc.). The poster walls in the Planck Lobby each have a number. Hang your poster on the poster wall that has the number of your poster. Please be sure your poster is up before 17:00 on the 25th November. You may use the time in the precluding coffee breaks or lunch break (or before meeting begin on the 25th November) to hang up your poster. Pins for mounting posters will be provided at the venue (ask at registration desk). Keep your poster up until the end of the second poster session (18:30, 26th November).
When should I be at my poster?
Depends…
November 25th 17:00-18:00 if the last digit of your poster number is odd (e.g. S1P1, S1P3, S2P1,…)
November 26th 17:30-18:30 if the last digit of your poster number is even (e.g. S1P2, S1P4, S2P2,…)
You are of course very welcome to be at your poster both days during the above times. (The purpose of the above divide is so that you can also have a chance to visit other posters and interact with their presenters).
