Please note that poster submissions are now closed. For practical information on displaying and viewing posters, and a list of accepted posters, please see below.

Practical information

Posters will be displayed in the dedicated catering and socialising area: the Great Hall.

Posters should be put up between 9.00 - 9.45 am on Thursday 25 October (coffee will be provided between 9.00 and 9.30 am), and taken down not earlier then Friday 26 October at 4pm. Please adhere to these times to minimise disruption to other poster presenters. Each poster will be given a dedicated poster board.

There is an exclusive poster viewing slot on Friday morning from 9.00 - 9.45 am where strong coffee, salmon bagels and danish pastries will be served. This will offer all poster presenters and participants the chance to discuss their work, as well as network, in a stimulating atmosphere.

Posters should be no bigger than A1 size and will be hung on hessian screens, ideally with pins (which we can provide). Velcro should stick - but please be prepared to use pins.

Please also remember:

A £100 book voucher will be awarded for the most exciting and accessible poster. The judging team will include Ian Ascough, Better Regulation Executive, Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform.

* Please note that if your poster has been accepted, you still need to register for the conference as a delegate. Only the accepted poster abstracts submitted by registered participants will be included in the official event programme.
