Posters

Guidelines

All poster presentation materials will be displayed on US-standard 4’x8’ boards, provided on-site. We ask that submitted posters be sized at either 3’x6’ or 4’x8’ to ensure a proper fit. Posters should be printed as a single sheet rather than assembled from multiple sections. Titles must remain within the bounds of the poster dimensions.

Poster Content Format

Your poster should include:

  • A clear title with all author names listed at the top

  • A brief introduction, goals, methodology, results, and conclusions

  • Well-labelled visuals such as graphs, charts, images, and tables

  • A logical layout that flows clearly from section to section

  • Text and visuals that are legible from a distance of 6–10 feet

Design & Appearance Tips

  • Keep text concise, highlighting only the key points of each section

  • Use clean, simple visuals - one clear idea per graphic or table

  • Avoid reusing complex visuals from publications or theses

  • Ensure all content is readable from a minimum of 6 feet away

  • Stick to high-contrast, accessible colour combinations

  • Use white backgrounds for clarity and legibility

  • Choose simple fonts and use bold text sparingly for headings

Abstracts

Guidelines

Abstracts are required for all oral presentations.

  • Accepted abstracts may be published on the conference website and in the International Journal of Tissue Repair. By submitting an abstract, you consent to TRES/IPAWSpublishing your work.

  • Abstract withdrawals must be submitted in writing. Withdrawals are only allowed up to 14 days after acceptance notification.

Abstract Content

Word limit: Maximum 275 words (not including title, authors, and affiliations). Abstracts that are too long may be shortened.

  • Title: Keep it short but clear. Titles should include the type of study - eg, a cross-sectional survey, a randomised controlled trial.

  • No names or places in the text: Do not include author names, institutions, hospitals, schools, or cities in the abstract text or title. This ensures a blind review.

• Structure your abstract with four parts:

  • Aim: What is the purpose of your study?

  • Methods: How did you carry out the study or select your cases/subjects?

  • Results: Present your findings clearly, using text, tables, or figures.

  • Conclusions: What is new, important, or meaningful about your results?

Abbreviations: Spell out the full term the first time you use it.

  • Previously presented work: Abstracts shown at earlier TRES/IPAWS conferences will only be accepted if they include substantial new data.

  • Source of funding should be included. If none, say so.

  • Contributors: Briefly explain who did what in the study (e.g., AB carried out the statistical analysis. CD wrote the abstract with input from EF).

  • Confirm that all authors have reviewed and approved the final version of the abstract for publication.

  • Conflicts of Interest: list any conflicts of interest for each author. If there are none, write: “I/We declare that I/we have no conflicts of interest.”

Images

  • Use only images you own or have permission to use.

  • If showing patient photos, get consent as required by local laws.
