IHW 2026 Poster Guidelines
All poster presenting authors are asked to bring their printed posters to the venue. Alternatively, poster authors can order a printing service in Prague arranged by our Secretariat.
Poster Dimensions
The required poster size is A0, portrait format (single page) – 84.1 cm wide and 118.9 cm high.
Please ensure that your poster does not exceed the specified dimensions. Otherwise, there will not be enough space for your poster.
You can download the poster template HERE.
There are three ways you can work with the materials, depending on your needs and level of experience:
- You can use a PowerPoint (PPT) template in A0 size and edit it directly in PowerPoint. The file includes two slides – one with a Prague footer and one without – so you can choose the version that suits your layout.
- You can simply insert one of the provided images into Canva or any other graphic design tool you prefer, which is the easiest and most flexible option for quick edits or custom layouts.
- You can work with a print-ready PDF that includes a 5 mm bleed, which is ideal for more professional and high-quality print output.
Poster Printing Service
If you wish to order printing of your poster, please let us know via e-mail at abstracts.ihw2026@c-in.eu. The deadline for ordering a printing service is 10 June 2026. The cost of printing one full–color A0 poster is $30.00 USD. We will add the poster printing cost to your registration in the portal and inform you about the pending payment.
Mounting Services
If you do not use the poster printing service provided by our Secretariat, you need to mount your poster in the Poster Room on-site. It will be open for poster mounting from Friday, 26 June 2026, as of 08:00. Posters should be set up ideally before the Welcome at 08:45. Suitable fixing material will be available on-site.
One poster will be placed on one side of the board and each poster spot will be given its unique number. Please make sure to mount your poster on the poster board with the number corresponding to the number assigned to your poster. A poster list with poster numbers will be available on-site.
Please remove your poster by Saturday, 27 June 2026, 16:40. The event organizers are not responsible for any loss or damage to posters that are not removed by the specified time. Posters left behind after this time will be disposed of.
Poster Session
Presenting authors are encouraged to be present during the poster session to answer possible questions from the delegates – on Friday, 26 June 2026, 16:20 – 17:20.
You can make yourself available for a discussion near your poster also during the coffee breaks and lunch breaks if you wish.
Tips for preparing your poster
- Content: Use a short descriptive title, full names of contributing authors, and their affiliations.
- Make your message clear: Highlight your AIM and CONCLUSION using bold andcolored fonts.
- Be brief: Use bullet points and only the most relevant text. 200-300 words are more than enough for the main text.
- Pictures and graphics:Particular attention should be paid to the resolution of pictures. As a rule of thumb, use at least 300 dpi resolution. Make use of color and graphics. At least 2 pictures or figures are recommended to graphically show your study results.
