- Posters are usually more attractive when mounted onto a single background
rather then being mounted on the board as several separate sheets.

Marathon Call4Posters Service
This year we have entered into an agreement with Marathon
so that you can have them print your poster and deliver it to the meeting
site – no more carrying posters on public transport! In addition
they can also design and format the poster for you if required. You can
enter their website here
for further details and pricing information.
Disclosure
ECTS requests that all presenters include details of any
potential conflicts of interest on their slides or posters. You must include
details of any company support given, whether in conducting the research,
analysing the data or preparing the presentation.
