Poster Displays

Each day features hundreds of poster displays, placed at the heart of FEMS MICRO 2025. Attendees can explore this extensive labyrinth of research from across the planet.

This type of presentation is ideal for showcasing detailed data and visual content, making it easier for attendees to absorb complex information at a glance. The format offers a unique opportunity to connect with peers, journal editors, and industry professionals interested in your research. 

As a poster presenter, you will stand by your poster to engage directly with attendees, answering questions and discussing your work in depth.

Poster display guidelines

Posters will be displayed in hard copy format, with presenters standing by to answer questions and discuss their work. Each poster will be on display for the whole of the allocated day, with two sessions outlined in the programme encouraging people to gather by them for interaction and feedback.

Poster format: 

  • The measurements of your printed poster should be in A0 Portrait (maximum 84.1 cm wide x 118.9 high – 33.1 in. wide and 46.8 in. high) . 

  • There is one (1) poster board available per presentation; you are required to use ‘Portrait’ layout for your poster. 

  • Include the abstract number, presentation title, name of authors, institution, city and country on your poster.

  • Please be very careful that your presentation is scientific and not commercial. Company logo or trademarks are allowed only in small size on the poster. 


    Text and character size: 

  • The font size of the title should be at least 25 mm high and the main text at least 10 mm high (text should be readable from 2 meters away). 

  • Word-process all text (including captions) and print on a plain light coloured background. 

  • Divide each poster into at least three equal columns for readability of text.

    Illustrations: 

  • Should have a resolution of 300 dpi to be suitable for printing. 

  • Should be placed large enough on the poster so it is readable from five feet away. 

  • Illustrations may extend over 2 or 3 columns.

    Mounting and taking down your poster: 

  • FEMS will provide you with the materials needed to put up your poster, which you can collect on site. 

  • Place the highlights at eye level (i.e. the upper half of the wall element).

  • Posters can be mounted between 07:30-08:30 on Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 July, and between 08:00-09:00 on Thursday 17 July. 

  • Posters can be taken down after 18:30 on Tuesday 15 and Wednesday 16 July, and after 16:30 on Thursday 17 July. 


    Poster presenter tips:
     

  • Attendees must be available on site during the poster sessions to present their poster.

  • Attendees with only a poster are not required to prepare and submit any slide presentations.  

    Prizes will be awarded during the closing ceremony for the best poster.

The review process

FEMS is committed to fostering programmes that reflect our core values – of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, therefore we support and promote diversity of gender identity or expression, race, ethnicity, discipline, career-stage and geography, among other domains across all areas of the Congress & Exhibition.

Abstracts submitted are scored and evaluated based on originality of data and the potential significance of the findings.  

Reviews are blind, meaning that reviewers do not see the names of submitters, or their affiliations.
