Probably a stupid question... poster title same as on abstract?

T

Hi there

I am a bit confused about this poster making business.

First - does the title of my poster need to be the same as on the abstract I submitted? I imagine it would be hard to identify if not, but the problem is, it is much longer than I would have liked for a poster.

Second - does the abstract I submitted need to go on my poster as the abstract? I hope not, as I actually don't want to put an abstract on my poster. I don't think it does, but just checking!

Thanks
Tudor

Also it seems customary to put the logo of your institution on the poster. So if there are multiple authors from several institutions, would that mean all their logos need to go on?

Technically your titles should be the same yes. People will still be able to find you though because you will be allocated a number in the abstract book and then given the same number for the poster board. No one will notice or care if you change your title.

People don't usually put abstracts on their poster.

Yep, all the logos need to go on somewhere. And any funders or conference attendance sponsors usually. You can put the logos elsewhere on the poster if you prefer though.

Thanks again ToL!
