Guidelines for poster authors

Poster contributions should be shown both on site on poster walls and online in the conference app and in an ePoster Walk.
 

Instructions for producing the posters:

Posters must be produced in DIN A0 format (84.1 x 118.9 cm, portrait) for presentation on site and brought along. Please prepare your posters and presentations in English so that international participants can also read them.

There will be two parts of the general poster walk-through on site at the venue. They will take place Thursday morning, May 28, 2026 from 11:30 to 12:30 a.m. and on Friday morning, May 29, 2026 from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m.
Please check the Abstract Portal to see which group you have been assigned to.
Each poster will be given 3 minutes for presentation and 2 minutes for discussion. We kindly ask you to adhere to the scheduled speaking time!
Please hang up the posters on the respective poster board, which shows your poster number. We will provide you with mounting material on site at the registration counter.
 

Creation of the ePosters:

Please upload your poster in PDF format as well as a short audio presentation (mp3) of approx. 3 minutes by May 4, 2026 (for the overview poster with the main thesis), but no later than May 18, 2026 in your account in the abstract portal. A corresponding upload function will be available for each accepted poster abstract.

The files will be made available to all conference participants in the app and in an ePoster-Walk for viewing and listening to the poster presentations for three months until August 30, 2026.
With the help of a QR code, the available audio files for the posters can be accessed and listened to at any time during the conference directly via the conference app on the smartphone.
Tip: We recommend using the voice memo functions on your smartphone to create the mp3 audio files.
 

Timing of the poster exhibition:

The posters can be hung up on the designated poster walls at the venue.
Posters scheduled for Session Part I must be put up on Thursday, May 28, 2026, between 8:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. at the latest. Due to the changeover, these posters must also be taken down on the same day between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m.

DGP Poster Awards 2026 - Presentation of the best poster contributions on Saturday morning, May 30, 2026 in the Best Poster Session!
In the Best Poster Session, the best posters (marked with rosettes) evaluated by the moderators of the poster session on Friday noon will be briefly presented again by the authors. The four best contributions will be awarded the DGP Poster Prize 2026 by a jury.
The selected poster authors will be informed on Friday afternoon about the opportunity to present in the best poster session. They will be asked to prepare 3-4 PowerPoint slides for a short presentation of max. 5 minutes for the best poster session on Saturday morning. Only posters that are presented directly by the first authors on site will be shortlisted. No substitute presentations, e.g. by other members of the research group, are permitted. The poster prizes are primarily intended to promote young researchers in the field. The poster prizes will be awarded directly after the best poster session on Saturday afternoon.
We wish you good luck! Further information on the prizes
Please leave your cell phone number during the online registration for the conference so that we can reach you in case your poster is awarded on site after the poster session on Thursday resp. Friday.
