Poster Guidelines
The IPSO 2026 Congress will be held in-person in Paris, France. If you are participating as a poster presenter we ask that you read the instructions and guidelines below.
Prior to arriving on-site at the Congress, all poster presenters will be provided with their poster presentation date and unique poster number. There will be poster panels labelled with your poster number, along with push pins to affix your poster to the board for display. If you have any questions or encounter any issues, please visit the registration desk for assistance.
If you have any questions, please contact us.
Guidelines for Poster Presentations
- We suggest posters no larger than 44in/ 112cm (height) X 42 in/107cm (width) in portrait orientation to ensure comfortable display on the panels at eye level. (see picture on the left for reference)
- Posters must be prepared in advance by the attendee and should be large enough to be viewed from a distance of approximately 3 feet (1 m) or more
- Recommended minimum font sizes: Title ≥72 pt; author names ≥36 pt; section headers ≥32 pt; body text ≥24 pt
- Push pins will be provided for you at the venue to affix your poster to the display panel
- At least one author should be present during the assigned poster sessions
- Each poster must have a top label indicating the title of the paper, the names of the authors and their affiliations and clearly labeled sections. The size of the characters for the title should be at least one inch high (PowerPoint Template example)
- Keep illustrative material simple. Charts, drawings and illustrations may be similar to those used in making slides – preferably with bolder, heavier figures. These materials should be mounted on fairly stiff paper, printing fabric – but NOT heavy cardboard
- You may hand out information sheets to those viewing your poster
- If used, photographs should be in a matte finish, not glossy
- Do not fold posters; roll and carry them in an appropriate container
