2nd International Conference on Emerging Trends in Biomedical Engineering, Science and Technology (ICETBEST) 2026

Guidelines for Authors

1. For Poster Submission

Poster Specifications

• Your poster should cover the key points of your research, which include but are not limited to background, methods, results, and conclusion. Make your poster as self-explanatory as possible.
• Authors should get their poster printed. A poster stand will be provided at the assigned venue.

Poster Dimension

• Poster should have the following dimensions A0 size (84.1 cm x 118.9 cm) or (33.1 inches x 46.8 inches).
• Please note that printing out your full submitted paper in A4 size format is NOT acceptable as a poster.

Poster Dimension

• Title: The title of your poster should appear at the top with lettering of at least 42 pt font size. Below the title, you should place the names of authors and their affiliations.
• Text: Text should be readable from five feet away. Use a minimum font size of at least 20 pt. Keep the text brief. Try to use text to introduce the study, explain visuals and direct viewers’ attention to significant data trends and relationships portrayed in the visuals, and state and explain the interpretations that follow from the data. It is also a good idea to include future research plans or questions for discussion with viewers in your text.
• Figures/Tables: Each figure/table should have a brief title. Figures/tables should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Try to use color figures rather than only black and white text to make your poster attractive and highlight the important technical content of your paper. Make sure that the text and the visuals are integrated.
