Physical Poster FAQs
- Do I need to print my own physical poster?
-
Physical poster presenters are responsible for the production and printing of a suitable A0 (841mm x1189mm) portrait poster. A thick paper stock, such as 150-250gsm is best to ensure durability. We recommend checking the print lead time with your chosen supplier in advance, to ensure your poster will be ready in time for the conference.
- I don’t want to travel with my poster, can I print my poster locally in Glasgow?
-
If you don’t want to travel with our poster you may wish to consider getting your poster printed in Glasgow and collecting it when you arrive.
