Poster Guidelines

Ecopath 40 Years Poster Presentation Guidelines.

At EwE40, we are going to embrace an approach to poster presentations, that was used successfully for Ecopath35.  To gain background on this new format, check out the presentation found here.  This new format is meant to drive home your main message quickly and easily, while communicating your science seamlessly to various audiences.  In Figure 1 to the right, you will see a great example of how to present your poster.  

In addition to this new format, we are requiring ALL poster presenters to prepare a 1-min Lightning Talk. All posters are ‘pitched’ during poster lightning talk sessions that take place throughout the first day before the poster session. Please submit your poster as one power point slide (or one power point slide about your poster) to info@marineboard.eu before you leave for the conference, and no later than Wednesday 29 May 2024. During this lightning talk, you will have 1 minute to “pitch” to the conference attendees WHY they should come visit your poster during the poster session. During that one minute, your poster slide (or a slide about your poster) will be displayed but will automatically advance after 1 minute.

Poster Metrics - the poster boards are 1m wide and 2m high.

We have a total of 20 boards, which can have posters on both sided (so space for 40 posters). If we have more accepted posters, we'll have several sessions.
