Preparing your poster presentation before the Symposium

  1. Design your e-poster with an attractive outlook to (a) provide a brief overview of your work focusing on the objectives, hypothesis, academic progress and scientific merits of your project; and (b) initiate discussion and questions. Only cover the key points of your work.
  2. A horizontally-displayed digital poster panel (either a 50” or 86” panel, randomly allocated) will be provided to display your poster. A reference photo of the panels could be found here.
  3. Your e-poster must adhere to the following specifications:
    • File format: JPG
    • Size in pixel: 3840 (w) x 2160 (h) – landscape orientation
    • Include text, diagram, figures and images only, do not add videos to your e-poster
    • File name to be your allocated presentation number and your name as per your student ID, e.g. P1.16 Chan Tai Man
    • Please create your poster in PPT (PPT reference template) and export it to a JPG in the specified resolution for submission (JPG submission sample)
  4. Make your poster as self-explanatory as possible.
