Instructions for poster presentations

As poster presenter, we kindly ask you to be present next to where your poster is allocated during the dedicated poster session, and during the coffee and lunch breaks on that same day. This will give you the opportunity to meet and discuss your work with the other conference delegates.
• On one of the poster panels, we will provide the list with poster numbers. Please look up your poster number on the on-site poster panel, and attach your poster to the panel with the corresponding number. Attachment materials will be provided by us.
• Posters should be brought to the conference and not mailed. We do not have any facilities to print your poster onsite.
• Should you wish to print your poster in Beijing, upon arriving in Beijing, you could go to one of the following print shops. Please note we did not make any arrangements with these centers, and there are no discounts foreseen for ICU delegates.
