Guidelines for Poster Presenters

Thank you for being part the program of the Sports, Medicine and Health Summit 2023. The SMHS 2023 poster exhibition will take place in the foyers of the Congress Center Hamburg (CCH). You will receive the exact details in which foyer your poster will be exhibited by email a few days before the congress. Below you will find all information for your physical poster.
 

Poster format

  • For abstracts which have been accepted as a poster, a physical poster has to be prepared and brought to Hamburg.
  • The entire poster can have a maximum size of 147 cm high x 97 cm wide (portrait style). The poster does not necessarily have to fill the entire working area.
  • Poster authors are requested to use the adhesive material provided by the congress staff only. Material to attach the posters to the poster walls is available at the poster counter in the poster area. Double-sided tape will be provided to put up posters. We recommend light paper posters rather than fabric or heavy weight posters, in order to make sure that posters don‘t come off the walls.
  • For the font of your poster, it is recommended to use large, semi-bold letters, at least 5 mm high. The text should be easily legible from a distance of 2 - 3 m.
  • Poster authors are requested to disclose potential conflicts of interest regarding the poster presentation at the bottom of their poster. This will allow the audience to take potential conflicts of interest into account when assessing the objectivity of the poster.
