Please make sure that letters are sufficiently large to be read from a distance of 1-3 m.

Poster mounting:

  • You are responsible for printing your poster in advance and for putting it up at the conference site. It is not possible to print posters at the conference site.
  • Please mount your poster on Monday morning, 04 November.
  • Mounting material will be provided.
  • Please don't remove your poster before the end of the conference. The posters are an important part of the scientific program and should be displayed the whole time. Please remove your poster on Thursday, November 07, after the closing session. Posters remaining after the conference will be discarded.
  • How to find the place where your poster should be mounted: In the poster area you will find a poster list for orientation. In addition, a sign on each poster wall will indicate the author’s name, poster title, and poster number. For your poster’s number please refer to the conference program. If you have difficulties finding “your” poster board, please contact one of our staff members and we will be happy to assist you.

Videos

At the SWC 2019/ SHC 2019 we offer you the opportunity to record a short video 2- 3 minute presentation about your poster which will be posted on the ISES YouTube channel. The video will be available to you afterwards to share and use as your personal resource. You can find different examples on how this was done at our most recent conference, EuroSun 2018, here.

If you would like to take advantage of this offer, please register via an email to swc@ises.org or register on site in Santiago.
