- A close-up picture of the presenter to be used for the poster display;
All files should be uploaded on indico by Thursday, May 14, 2026.
Naming scheme
Please use the following naming scheme:
SParkling session slide: SP_<session>_<abstract ID>.pdf (must be a pdf and not exceed 1 M in size)
PDF version of Poster: PO_<session>_<abstract ID>.pdf
A Close-up Picture of the poster presenter : CP_<session>_<abstract ID>.pdf
Poster size and graphics
The posters will be displayed on 50-inch screens, with an overall active area of 61.6 x 109.5 cm, and a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels, with a portrait orientation. The suggested size of the posters is that of the ISO 216 A1 standard: 59.4 x 84.1 cm, with an aspect ratio of 1:1.414.
The close-up picture of the presenter will be automatically included in the graphical display by the system, and there is no need for the authors to manually insert it in the layout of the poster. The same holds for any additional information related to the conference. The final display will include a QR code redirecting to the pdf file of the poster.
Note that the electronic version of the poster provided by the author will be converted to a raster image for the purpose of the display on the conference screens, and presenters should avoid using exceedingly small graphical elements of any type and/or low-resolution plots and images.
