Poster Session

Accepted Posters

Poster Format

Please prepare your posters in A0 paper size in portrait/landscape mode. You will need to bring a printed copy of your poster to the poster session. We will arrange for the necessary support system (poster stands, clips, etc.). Please ensure that your poster is visually appealing. For instance, merely replicating the text of your abstract onto the poster is a bad idea. Instead, strive to have a continuous flow of ideas through numbers, figures, diagrams and graphs. Please visit this link to get an idea of the setup.

Poster prizes

The three best posters will be awarded certificates based on feedback from a panel of judges during the poster session. The awards will be presented at the conference banquet on Friday, January 5th.

Poster Presentation (4th Jan 2024, 1 - 4 PM)

The Poster Session will be held on 4th and 5th Jan 2024 from 1 PM to 4 PM IST at the hotel poolside. The participants will be provided with all the necessary materials to display the posters. All presenters should report to the venue 30 minutes before the session to set up their posters.
