Presenting Your Poster at the Giant Jamboree
This year, we will have scheduled poster sessions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Teams are assigned to the next poster session after their presentation. Each team is expected to present their poster at their assigned session. Please see the poster assignment sheet to identify your assigned poster session.
Teams are assigned to the next poster session after their presentation. e.g. If your presentation is in Presentation Session A or B in the morning, your poster session will be in Poster Session A & B during the lunch time break. If your presentation is in Presentation Session C or D in the afternoon, your poster session will be in Poster Session C & D at the end of the day etc.
Poster Guidelines
In iGEM, the purpose of the poster is to communicate the project to others in a very concise, yet engaging manner. Many posters in the past have been quite “busy” and “unbalanced” with regards to text, figures, and space. Although past winning posters may not have had this balance, it will be an important criterion in judging this year and in future iGEM Jamborees. The rest of this page is filled with suggestions and guidelines to help teams create their posters.
Font sizes
Font size must be readable from a distance. Recommended font sizes are
- 44 pt for headers
- 38-40 pt for body text
- 18-24 pt for captions beneath figures
- 18 pt for references
Please note that your poster may be smaller than these dimensions, but it cannot be larger. If your poster is larger, you may take up more space than the poster boards will allow, which may cause issues for the team next to you.
Expected iGEM Poster Components
Teams should plan to have the following components on their poster in some manner:
- Title
- Team
- Authors and their Affiliated Institution(s)
- Introduction
- Methodology
- Results/Conclusions
- Acknowledgments
- Funding Attributions (If applicable)
Past iGEM teams have also elected to include additional components on their posters such as:
- Abstract
- Objectives
- Motivation
- Team Achievements
- Future Directions
- Human Practices
- Parts Submitted
NOTE
In addition, some teams have elected to display supplemental materials at their poster station. These displays have included laptop/tablet presentations, team prepared pamphlets/handouts, and 3-D printed models. The supplemental materials will not be factored into the judging of the poster.
Example Poster: Heidelberg 2015
Team Heidelberg 2015 won Best Poster, Undergraduate at the Giant Jamboree in 2015. Their poster is shown below as an example of a balanced poster with overall visual appeal:
