The individual poster review in walk round will not be conducted. Poster presenter will be able to freely interact with attendees. At least, at beginning of Poster Session, all presenters should be available at their posters to answer questions from attendees.

Change of Presenting Author

If you are unable to attend the Scientific Sessions to present your research, it is your responsibility to assign a co-author and inform the secretariat. To make a presenting author change, please email jkd2@convention.co.jp with the name and email address of the new presenting author, along with the abstract presentation number. Please enter “Change of Presenting Author–Poster” in the subject line of the email.

Poster Display Guidelines

The poster board surface area is 90 cm wide by 160 cm high. Your poster presentation should not exceed the size of the poster board. Please prepare a heading, using large-size type, to appear across the top of the board listing the title of presentation, name of the author(s) and affiliation(s) in a space of 70 cm wide by 20 cm high. The secretariat will post a presentation number in the space (20 cm x 20 cm) at the upper left corner of the poster, thus please leave this space blank in your poster.

Poster Tips

  • Information on the poster must be readable from distances of three feet or more. You are strongly encouraged to use 22 point type minimum to ensure legibility. Make all print very dark (preferably block style) on a very light, preferably white, background. Please do not use a dark-colored background. If you use smaller type, especially standard 12 point print, it will be very difficult to read.
  • Write your presentation as concisely as possible, keeping the number of pieces to a minimum. Charts, drawings, and illustrations should be similar to those you would otherwise use in making slides and anything that is more heavily drawn. Try to avoid using very fine lines or rules; these are more difficult to see from a distance. Keep everything as simple as possible and avoid "artsy" or overly ornate presentations. Block lettering can be useful to add emphasis and clarity. Captions should be brief; labels few but clear.
  • Your poster should be self-explanatory so that you are free to supplement the information and discuss particular points of inquiry during the poster session. The poster session provides a more intimate forum for informal discussion than the regular presentations, but this becomes more difficult if you are obliged to devote most of your time to merely explaining your poster to a succession of visitors.
  • Pushpins will be provided for you to attach your materials to the poster board. The use of glue, tape, or staples is not allowed.
  • Please include on your poster a name, address, and contact information (or distribute business cards) in case someone wants additional information.
  • Do not leave personal belongings unattended at any time. Only handouts should be left with your poster.
  • Picture taking in the Poster Hall is not permitted.
  • If you have any questions concerning your presentation, please contact the secretariat: jkd2@convention.co.jp
