Evaluation by Jury: Presenters are required to remain at the conference until the jury completes the evaluation process.

Poster Pitch: All poster presenters must deliver a 2–3 minute pitch before the jury. This brief presentation allows evaluation for the Best Poster Awards.

Poster Board Assignment: Poster presenters will be directed to their designated board at the beginning of the poster session.

Poster Layout: The title and all author names should be displayed clearly at the top of the poster. While no strict format is required, posters generally include Introduction, Methods/Experimental Results, Conclusions, and References.

Accessibility: Use clear, readable fonts and avoid red–green color combinations to assist participants with color vision deficiencies.

Poster Removal: Posters must be removed after the Day 2 poster session. The organizers are not responsible for posters left behind.

We look forward to your active participation and impactful presentations at #BioNanoSeries2026.
