Posters:
There is no specific format for posters, but it would be ideal if you kept them less than ~4 feet (or ~125 cm) wide. The posters will be presented on a wall so please bring blue tack or any similar adhesive that can support your poster on the wall and will be easily removed without staining the wall afterwards.
