Due to the number of posters being presented at the Colloquium, posters will be displayed on designated days.

You will receive an email confirming your allocated poster display day.

Please ensure that your poster is displayed for the duration of your allocated day and that you are available at your poster during the designated poster presentation periods.

Your poster number and presentation day will be included in the programme.

Poster presenters are expected to be available at their poster during the designated poster presentation periods. This is your opportunity to discuss your work, answer questions and engage with delegates.

Your poster must:

• Be in portrait orientation. Landscape posters cannot be accommodated.
• Be a maximum of A0 size: 84.1 cm wide × 118.9 cm high.
• Be written in English.
• Be professionally presented and easy to read.

Posters exceeding the permitted dimensions may not be displayed.

When designing your poster, we recommend:

• Use large, easy-to-read text and figures.
• Keep content concise and avoid unnecessary clutter.
• Use plain language wherever possible.
• Create a clear and logical reading order.
• Use colours with good contrast.
• Ensure important information can be read comfortably from a reasonable distance.
• Consider providing additional accessible material, such as an online audio explanation accessible via a QR code and a human-readable link.

We encourage presenters to use the Cochrane #BetterPoster PowerPoint template, which has been developed to improve poster readability and accessibility.

Please also check whether your organisation has its own poster template or branding guidelines that you are required to follow.

Your poster must be printed before arriving at the Colloquium.

Important: There will be no poster printing facilities available at the Colloquium venue.

Presenters are responsible for mounting and removing their own posters.

• Posters may be mounted from 07:30.
• Your poster must be in place by 09:30.
• Please display your poster on the board corresponding to your assigned poster number.

• Please be available at your poster during the designated poster presentation periods.

• Posters must be removed by 17:45.
• Any posters remaining after this time may be removed and discarded.

Please only use the fixings provided in the poster exhibition area to attach your poster to the board.

You are welcome to bring A4 copies of your poster or other supporting information to share directly with interested delegates.

Please do not leave handouts, flyers or other materials on the floor around the poster boards.

If you require envelopes, holders or other materials for your handouts, please bring these with you.
