An official template will be provided; all sections in the template must be retained without omission

Posters must visually represent the content of the abstract submitted by the presenter.

Presenters are free to use any software of their choice to design the poster.

Use fonts that are easily legible from a distance. Ensure high contrast between text and background (e.g., light text on a dark background or vice versa).

Keep tables simple and readable. Use a minimum font size of 10 points for table content.

Place the figure legends below the corresponding figures..

As posters will be projected on a large screen, use high-resolution images, graphs, and visuals to maintain clarity. Avoid low-quality graphics, as they may appear blurred or pixelated.

Do not embed videos; posters should consist of static content only.

Include relevant references.

Avoid overcrowding the slide. Use clear section headings to guide viewers through your content.

Posters should be submitted as a single slide in PDF format

E-posters will be displayed on a standard LCD screen in Landscape Orientation.

Each presenter will be allotted 3 minutes for presentation, followed by 1 minute for discussion.
