ICALEPCS 2015October 17 - 23, 2015 Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre

Poster Presentation

The poster session is an essential component of the ICALEPCS conference. Posters are both a good complement to the oral presentations in the parallel sessions and a great opportunity for exposure for younger colleagues.

Poster Publication

details here

Please be aware that according to the ICALEPCS rules at least one author has to be present at the poster during the poster session, otherwise the poster will not be included in the proceedings.

Participants in the poster sessions are invited to upload an electronic version of their posters (in pdf format) via user profiles in the conference instance of the SPMS system for access on this web site. Upload your presentation to the file server as early as possible in portable document format only (pdf). Name the file with the programme code and "_poster.pdf" (for example MOMAU002_poster.pdf) and then upload in the same way as for papers through your  ICALEPCS2015 JACoW account (select "Poster").

The prizes will be announced at the closing remarks.

Preparation of the Posters

details here

It is suggested that the posters be prepared so that they can be easily understood even in the absence of the presenter.
The general suggestions for preparation of the posters are provided below:
1.Legibility: The poster should be readable from a distance. Suggested sizes include: minimum graph size 20cm, section heading letters 25mm, and text and figure lettering no less than 10mm.
2.Heading: General heading label for each display area should include the title and the presenter's name and institution.
3.Titles: All figures and tables should be titled. The sizes, format, and number of the posters (beyond the heading) are left up to the discretion of the presenter.

DO use large, easy-to-read letters.
DO NOT paste-up typed pages from a paper.
DO NOT clutter the poster with details.

• Posters should be understandable - even in the absence of the author(s).
