Creating and Designing your E-Poster
Orientation and Slide Limitation
All e-posters must be designed in landscape orientation to ensure they fit the display setup.
All content (text, images, data, etc.) should be contained within one slide to maintain simplicity and ease of viewing.
Slide Dimensions and Customization
If designing in PowerPoint, use the Custom Slide Size feature:
- Set Width to 50.8 cm and Height to 28.575 cm.
- Ensure the slide orientation is set to Landscape
This sizing helps with consistency, though minor adjustments may be needed for exact resolution matching.
Image Format
After designing the e-poster in PowerPoint, save the slide in JPG or PNG format.
Ensure your exported image file retains high quality and clarity.
Resolution Specifications
All e-posters should match the resolution of the presentation monitors, which are set to a 9:16 ratio, specifically 1920 x 1080 or higher.
Verify that your exported JPG or PNG file is at this resolution to avoid any pixelation or display issues on the monitors.
Essential Information for E-Poster Design
Language: The poster content must be written in English only.
Poster Identification: Display the Poster Number in the top left corner.
Title and Abstract Consistency: Include the Title of the E-Poster, which should be concise and match the title submitted with your abstract.
Author Information:
List the Names and Affiliations of all authors. Use superscript Arabic numerals (e.g., ¹, ²) to link each author to their respective institution.
Place institutional affiliations and addresses clearly below the authors’ names.
Institutional Logo: Position the logo of the affiliated institution or university in the upper right corner of the poster.
Font Style and Size:
Use Arial font throughout the poster, with text large enough to be easily read from a distance of 1.5 meters.
Title and subheadings should be in bold for emphasis. Avoid italics, as they can reduce readability from a distance.
Colour Scheme:
Limit colour usage to 2-3 complementary colours to maintain a formal and professional appearance.
Choose background colours that contrast well with the font for maximum readability. Avoid bright, dark, or highly textured backgrounds, as these may distract viewers
Image Quality: Ensure all photographs and figures are of sufficient size and at a minimum resolution of 300 dpi for clear visibility.
Graphs and Tables: Organize graphs and tables neatly, with text large enough to be easily readable.
Conflict of Interest Declaration: Include a Conflict of Interest statement for all authors. If no conflicts exist, clearly state "No conflicts of interest to declare."
Contact Information (Optional): You may provide contact details for delegates interested in further discussion.
Units of Measurement: Use units consistent with international scientific standards, with a preference for the International Metric System.
Presentation Credit: At the bottom of the poster, include: Presented at WASOG 2024.

For Research Posters: Include sections such as Introduction, Objectives, Materials and Methods, Results, Conclusion, References, and Acknowledgments.
