Presenting authors should print their physical poster based on the requirements listed in the sections above. MONOCOTS does not print posters on behalf of presenters. Facilities for printing are NOT AVAILABLE at the conference site.
Digital display of posters will not be possible and projection equipment is not provided in the poster session area.
The poster session will be held on Thursday. Posters may be installed from the first day of the conference, but have to be in place on Wednesday evening at the latest.
Presenting authors are required to be next to the poster during all poster sessions – authors can elect to stay longer.
Presenters should post a message on their space if they are absent for an extended period of time during their assigned presentation time.
Presenters are allowed to enhance the poster presentation with the use of a personal mobile device. Tablets are approved for use at the assigned poster space to show additional elements of the poster, such as videos, but please note that recording and photography from these devices will not be permitted.
Elements that run off the device itself rather than the Internet will display more reliably. Power will not be provided for these devices. MONOCOTS is not liable for any damage, loss, or theft of devices.
Posters should be on display at least during the full poster session on Thursday.
Plan/Prepare (some tips)
An effective poster balances figures and texts and is not a page-by-page printout of a journal paper or a slide show.
Title: Indicate your abstract title, author(s), and affiliation(s). Use lettering at least 2.5 cm high.
Illustrations: Design figures for viewing from a distance and use clear, visible graphics and large type. Colors are effective if used sparingly; use dark colors on white or pale backgrounds and light colors on dark backgrounds.
Text: Each figure or table should have a legend providing essential information. Minimize narrative. Use large type in short, separated paragraphs. Numbered or bulleted lists are effective ways to convey a series of points. Do not set entire paragraphs in uppercase (all capitals) or boldface type.
