Poster Presenter���s Guide
Introduction
A poster session is a��graphic presentation��of an author���s research. Authors illustrate their study findings by displaying graphs, photos, diagrams, and a small amount of text on poster boards.��In presenting your research with a poster, you should aim to use the poster as a means for generating��active discussion��of the research.��Poster sessions are a valuable opportunity for authors to present papers and meet with��interested attendees for in-depth technical discussions.
Poster sessions are scheduled for��90��minutes. Location is 5th Floor, Department of Town & Country Planning (as same as area allocate��for lunch and tea)
If you wish you can use FOSS4G Asia template attached herewith. Feel free to use and modify��it.����
Preparing your poster
The poster must be��A0 size��(A0 size is 841mm x 1189mm) in��portrait��orientation. The��title��should be the same as in the submitted abstract. Display��poster ID��long with the authors Name��(Note: Poster ID will be available on the conference website on 25th November, 2018).
The poster should be��easily readable��at a distance of two metres. Use UPPER and lower case for general content as the use of all-capital text is difficult to read. Avoid using a mixture of type/font styles.
Simplicity��is the key. Keep to the point, and don���t try to cover too many things. Present only enough data to support your conclusions. On the other hand, make sure that you present sufficient data to support your conclusions.
Presenting authors��should print their physical poster��based on the requirements listed in the sections above. FOSS4G Asia 2018 Conference does not print posters on behalf of presenters.
Authors��may bring additional written material��of a non commercial nature that supplements the material presented on the poster. Business cards is a great networking opportunity.
QR Codes (optional). FOSS4G Asia 2018 is promoting the idea of QR Codes for authors to incorporate into their posters. This would allow you to add a barcode readable by smartphones. The barcode can be designed to link the person viewing your poster to a related video, your website, or your contact information.
Computers without audio may be used to run demonstrations and display additional information or illustrations. No electrical outlets will be provided @ poster session area. Please come with��your computer charged!, if you want to use in the poster session
