Guidelines for Poster Authors
Poster Exhibition
Poster Sessions will be held from Wednesday, 01 July to Saturday, 04 July 2026 in the Poster Exhibition of the CCH.
These sessions offer an effective forum for the exchange of information and a means to communicate ideas, research, and programmes. Poster authors are required to be available for questions and further information at their poster board during the Poster Sessions (13:45 – 15:00).
As an example, Poster Session P-11-005: P = poster, 11= session, 005 = abstract
At this congress, posters will be grouped by topic for the convenience of those attending the sessions. Posters will be changed daily and are on display for the entire day of the respective poster session. They will be sorted by topic and will be numbered within the respective topic. All posters will be grouped in sessions of 10 posters each so each presenter will have ample time to present their work.
The poster exhibition is open during regular congress hours.
Poster Session and times
Poster Sessions will be guided by well reputed experts who will act as chairpersons. Each poster presenter will have 7 minutes for their presentation, followed by 3 minutes for discussion and questions. The three best posters will be awarded during the Closing Ceremony on 4 July 2026.

Poster format
The entire poster can have a maximum size of 225 cm high x 100 cm wide (PORTRAIT style, see image below). The poster does not necessarily have to fill the entire working area.
We recommend using DIN A0 portrait style (118,9 cm high x 84,1 cm wide).
Material to attach the posters to the poster walls is available at the poster counter in the poster area. We strongly recommend light paper posters rather than fabric or heavy weight paper posters, to make sure that posters don’t come off the walls.
For the font of your poster, it is recommended to use large, semi-bold letters, at least 5 mm high. The text should be easily legible from 2 - 3 m.
Poster authors are requested to disclose potential conflicts of interest regarding the poster presentation at the bottom of their poster. This will allow the audience to take potential conflicts of interest into account when assessing the objectivity of the poster.
Our staff at the poster counter will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Printing
Please note that neither the congress centre nor the organisers provide printing services. We kindly ask you to either bring your poster with you or arrange printing at a local copy shop in Hamburg.
