Guidelines for Poster Papers
Planning
❑ Posters should measure 90 centimetres (35.4 inches) (height) by 80 centimetres (31.5 inches) (length). Posters will be hung by tacks or Velcro tape provided.
❑ Posters should be easily readable from a distance of 1.8m (6ft) and should be visually attractive and of professional appearance.
❑ The poster topic should directly reflect the poster session theme: “Mainstreaming Biodiversity Issues into Forestry and Agriculture”.
❑ The poster session opens the evening of 18 February 2007. Authors may choose to be present to answer questions but this is not required. Should authors wish to attend at their own expense they must register as participants to SBSTTA 13 by sending to the Secretariat an official letter on letterhead from their organization nominating themselves as either representatives of the organization (to speak on behalf of the organization) or to attend as an observer.
Shipping
If you are shipping your poster, please consult the Information Note for Participants on the SBSTTA 13 meeting website for the address and contact person at the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Rome, Italy.
❑ Shipping must be arranged on a door-to-door basis, as FAO cannot deal with Customs clearance nor pay any shipment costs;
❑ Shipments must be identified with the title of the meeting (i.e. SBSTTA 13, 18-22 February 2008);
❑ Shipments must be previously communicated to the FAO contact (see the Information Note for Participants on the SBSTTA 13 meeting website) with a copy to Mr. Aballache Yesli (xxxxxxxxx.xxxxx@xxx.xxx), and Ms. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxx (xxxx.xxxxxxxxxxx@xxx.xxx) indicating the airway bill number and the number of tubes sent.
Organizing
The text of the poster should start in the upper left corner. It should flow from left to right and top to bottom. The title/author/sponsoring institution heading must be at the top of the board. Letters, number, or arrows can be used as needed to indicate the proper flow to the audience.
TIP 1: Simplicity
Concentrate on two or three main points. Highlight trends and comparisons with simplified charts, graphs, and diagrams. Make key points in the legend of the figure or table. Use text cautiously, and make sure it is easily understandable. Avoid using too

many numbers, words or complicated graphs. Make sure the message is clear and simple. Choose one background color for your poster board. Use contrasting colors where appropriate in charts, graphs, and diagrams.
TIP 2: Headings
It is best to highlight your title, headings and subheadings with colors or colored lines, and to make them at least 25% larger than the text copy. All type must be easily read from a distance of 1.8m (6ft). Use a bold or semi-bold typeface for headings and labels. For the title, plan on using finished type that is at least 2.5cm high (1 inch). The lettering for authors’ names, sponsoring institution, and address should be at least 1.9cm high (¾ inch).
TIP 3: Text type
It is recommended that you use 24- to 30-point font size for the title, 20-point font size for author’s name, affiliation and subheadings, and 16- to 18-point font size for text.
Keep text to short, concise, legible statements. Minimize complete sentences and paragraphs. Outlines of important points often work better than text. Use abbreviations and acronyms sparingly. Use a word processor to prepare your text copy, and set it at 1½ lines of space between each line of type. Text in upper and lower case letters is more readable than all capitals. Lettering for subheadings and figure captions should be larger than text type, but smaller than type used for the main heading. This type should also be bold or semi-bold in weight.
