POSTER AWARD
In this edition of the Wastes Conference, a special award will be given to the best poster. The evaluation will be carried out by a committee and will consider the poster’s originality, clarity, presentation quality, and the author/presenter’s explanation.
HANGING YOUR POSTER
Poster presenters are responsible for printing and placing their posters on the designated boards. A suggested poster template is available – please see the button below.
All necessary materials to attach the posters will be available at the facility desks in the Poster area. Secretariat staff will be available to assist authors with placing or removing their posters, if needed.
If presenters prefer not to travel with their printed poster, they may contact the event’s partner printing service: Tipografia Natividade (tipografianatividade@gmail.com).
Please note that printing costs are the responsibility of the author.
POSTER DIMENSIONS
Poster boards will be provided to accommodate all posters. The dimensions of the posters should be 90 cm x 120 cm (width x height), in portrait orientation.
There is no mandatory format, but use of the provided template is recommended.
The time allocated for all oral presentations is 12 minutes in total, followed by 3 minutes for questions and discussion at the end of each speech. It is very important to keep in track with the times as scheduled in the program, as there will be 3 sessions running in parallel.
All rooms will be fully equipped with laptop PC, projector, microphones, and laser pointer.So, speakers are not required to bring their own laptop or tablet. Presentations should be in PDF or PowerPoint format and should not include pre-recorded speeches.
All speakers must hand in their presentations in a flash drive labeled with the speech ID number to the designated desk at the entrance hall of the Conference center by the end of the previous day, or, at least early on the day of their presentation.
Speakers are asked to contact the session Chair(s) before their session begins, having prepared in advance a “golden” paragraph with a brief biographical description.
