FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What formats can I use for my poster? We accept poster submissions in either PowerPoint or PDF. Make sure that you check the correct poster dimensions for your congress, which can be consulted here. Which versions of PowerPoint can I use? Our system accepts all versions of Microsoft PowerPoint, up to 2013. However, you should not use PPS and PPSX file extensions, as these cannot be processed by our system. Can I send a poster in InDesign, CorelDraw or similar software? No. We only accept posters in PowerPoint or PDF. You can easily create a PDF from any desktop publishing software. What are the correct dimensions for my poster? Each congress stipulates dimensions for the posters presented, so that they fit correctly on the panels at the congress. To find the instructions for your congress, click here. The measurements are given: width x height (centimetres). What font sizes and styles should I use for text and titles? To achieve a clear and easily readable poster, there are certain minimum (and maximum) font sizes that we recommend you observe. These can be found in the Editing Info section for your congress. To find the instructions for your congress, click here. We recommend that you use standard font styles, such as Times New Roman, Arial, Calibri o Verdana, as these are easy to read. Can I print a poster for a congress which does not appear on the homepage? If your congress does not appear on our Homepage, this means that we do not have an agreement with the organizers to produce the posters. Within Spain only, we offer our PrintingOnline for Home Delivery service, which is for posters for any meeting or event. We will quality-check, print, pack and then send your poster to your home address in 48-72 working hours. What can I do if I do not want my poster to appear on the virtual poster gallery? You can contact us by e-mail informing us of your wish. We will remove your poster from the virtual poster gallery, until you inform us otherwise. Where and when do I collect my poster? You should receive e-mails from the Technical Secretary or from us giving instructions. As a rule, the posters can be collected on-site from the first morning of the congress, either at the service sponsor’s stand, at the poster desk or registration area. If in doubt, please email us to confirm. Can I check my poster before the congress? You can check your poster in the Manage Orders area of our website. Type in your e-mail address and all the posters you have submitted will be listed. You can download and check the poster you submitted. Can I make changes to my poster if I discover a mistake? During the same day that you submitted the poster, via our Manage Orders section you may substitute the poster file at no cost. After this time, there will be a reprinting charge of 60 euros + VAT. Once the posters have been packed and shipped, we regret that changes are impossible. How does the virtual poster gallery work? All posters are uploaded to a dedicated virtual area, where they can be consulted once the congress has started. This will previously have been agreed with the congress organisers. Other doctors can browse and download posters, as well as send a (hidden) e-mail to the first author with questions about the poster. If you prefer not to receive e-mails from other doctors, you may tick “NO” at the bottom of the form when you send your poster, and this option will be disabled. Will a sponsor’s logo be included on my poster? For some congresses, and only with previous agreement of the organisers, we add a lower band to the posters, containing the poster number, 1st author, topic and a discreet dedicatory text and sponsor’s logo. In any case, you will be informed and asked to accept (with a tick box) before sending your poster. A sponsor has no influence over the content or design of your poster. Lower or side band: For all posters ordered, the PosterSessionOnline Technical Department adds a discreet band at the bottom or side, measuring 5cm, containing:
