Each ePoster must include the following sections:

- Minimum font size: 18pt body text, 24pt section headings, 32pt poster title
- Use a clean sans-serif font such as Calibri, Arial, or Helvetica for body text

- Any colour scheme is acceptable. The ICNC 2026 brand colours are:
- Primary red:
#B22222 - Accent orange:

- Primary red:
- Include the ICNC 2026 logo on your poster — it is provided in the templates
- Leave adequate white space — do not try to fill every inch of the poster

Provided Templates
Three PowerPoint templates are provided. All are 16:9, include the ICNC 2026 logo, and have placeholder text showing where to add your content.
Saving Your Poster as a PDF
Fonts must be embedded in the PDF to ensure your poster displays correctly on the conference screens, which may not have your fonts installed.
PowerPoint on Mac embeds fonts automatically when exporting to PDF. No additional steps required.
- Open the PDF and verify it shows exactly one page
- Zoom in to at least 150% — all text should be sharp and readable
- Confirm all images, charts, and figures appear correctly
- Check no text is cut off at the edges
- Verify the file size is under 25 MB
File Naming & Upload
Files must be named using your abstract submission number (found in your acceptance email from ICNApedia). Use lowercase only — no spaces or special characters.
Each presenter receives a personal upload link included in their acceptance email. This link is unique to you and is tied to your abstract — you do not need to create an account or enter a password.
- Click your personal upload link (included in your acceptance email from the ICNC 2026 secretariat)
- On the upload page, drag-and-drop your PDF — or click Browse to select it
- The system will verify the filename and file type before accepting the upload
- A green confirmation message will appear once your file is successfully received
- To update your file, simply upload a new version — it will automatically replace the previous one
- Contact the ICNC 2026 secretariat if you cannot locate your upload link or experience any difficulties
After uploading your PDF, click the "Preview my ePoster" button on the upload page. This will open your poster exactly as it will appear on the conference screen — in the fullscreen ePoster viewer — using your private preview link.
Only you (via your personal link) can see your poster before the conference opens. The ePoster library will become publicly accessible to all delegates on the first day of the congress.
Video Recording (Optional but Encouraged)
You are invited to submit a short video recording of yourself presenting your poster. This will be displayed alongside your PDF in the ePoster viewer and is especially valuable for delegates who cannot attend in person.If you want to include any patient videos in the ePoster, you can incorporate this into this one video file with your narration.
- Use PowerPoint's built-in recording feature, Zoom, or Loom to capture your screen and face simultaneously
- A webcam inset showing your face is recommended but not required
- Speak clearly at a measured pace — your audience may not be native English speakers
- Cover your poster sections in order: background, methods, results, conclusions
- Use a microphone rather than relying on built-in laptop audio
- Ensure good lighting and a quiet background
Use the same personal upload link as for your PDF poster. The upload page accepts both PDF and video files — you can upload or replace each independently at any time before the deadline.
- Maximum file size: 500 MB
- Accepted formats: MP4, MOV, WebM, M4V, AVI (MP4/H.264 strongly preferred)
- To compress a large video, use a free tool such as HandBrake or VLC
