Paper Presentation

• Poster size:

Posters should be no wider than 91 cm (36 in) and no higher than 122 cm (48 in), in vertical/portrait orientation. A0 paper (in vertical/portrait orientation) meets these requirements.

• Poster printing option:

If you cannot print your poster before travelling, there will be an A3 printer at the conference registration desk which can be used. If you need to use this option, please contact the information desk early to make sure there is time to print the posters before your session. Larger sizes (e.g. A0) can be printed in photo shops in Florence (note that shops will be closed on Sunday). The registration desk will provide information about the shops closest to the conference venue.
