Poster Presentation Schedule
Individual poster assignments have not yet been made. Authors will be assigned to a specific Poster Session on either Wednesday, June 11 or Thursday, June 12. On the day of their assigned session, presenters are required to attend their posters during their assigned Poster Session time period, allowing attendees to visit the posters at their convenience -the poster itself will be displayed all day during congress hours (9:00 am–6:00 pm). Authors will attend their posters only during the assigned Poster Session time frame. Presenters are expected to discuss their work with scientists visiting their poster.
Wednesday and Thursday will consist of two Poster Session time periods. The two Poster Session times are:
- 10:00 AM–11:30 AM
- 4:30 PM–6:00 PM
Poster setup: Wednesday, June 11 by 9:00 AM CET or Thursday, June 12 by 9:00 AM CET
Poster removal: Wednesday, June 11 after 6:00 PM CET or Thursday, June 12 after 6:00 PM CET
DO NOT print or upload your poster without receiving your final poster number from MPS World Summit Headquarters; this number is different from your abstract submission number.
Presenters should display posters ONLY on the assigned day. Posters must be removed immediately at the end of each day so that the boards may be prepared for the next day’s Poster Sessions. All posters must be displayed during congress hours (9:00 am–6:00 pm) on the day of the author’s assigned Poster Session. Posters that are left on the boards after 6:15 pm can be picked up by the author at registration the next morning.
Poster Mounting Information
The presenting author of each poster abstract is responsible for the proper assembly, mounting, and presentation of the poster. Presenters can mount their posters on their assigned board beginning at 7:30 am on the day of their Poster Session. 3M fastener strips (adhesive) will be provided.
Poster Dimensions
- Posters should be A0 size in portrait orientation
- 33.1 inches (84.1cm) width x 46.8 inches (118.8 cm) height
- Posters should not be wider than 90 cm
- If you need to reuse the poster for other meetings, we suggest using a thick/durable material (not thin paper) since the 3M strips can cause some minor tears upon removal.
- DO NOT use cloth posters as we have found these are difficult to adhere to these types of boards.
Additional Requirements
- Include title, author list, affiliations, and abstract number in the poster
- Describe the technology you are presenting
- Provide application examples
- Demonstrate what are the benefits and innovation of this technology
- Poster should be self-explanatory as the posters will be displayed the whole day and the audience might be viewing them on their own
Poster Printing with Crazy Copy Center
The MPS World Summit has partnered with the Crazy Copy Center, located on campus at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Poster presenters interested in getting their poster printed at Crazy Copy Center need to send their poster by email in PDF format, and posters will be delivered to Tour & Taxis.
