Poster Presentations

Posters are welcome and will be placed in the Trade Show room, space permitting. Please bring your own easel if possible. If you are anticipating a poster submission, please email contact"at"esans.ca to let us know so that we can ensure appropriate space.

If you require an easel, please email contact"at"esans.ca to request one to be held for you. If you are using one of our easels, you will need to place a hard backing on your poster (foam core) to ensure it stays in position.

Greening Your Exhibit/Poster

We encourage all poster presenters and exhibitors at the 2008 Atlantic Reclamation Conference to make their displays as environmentally sustainable as possible. Below are tips and ideas for reducing the environmental footprint of your exhibit and/or poster.

Choosing the design for a custom-built exhibit:
Choose a design that you will be able to reuse (e.g. aesthetically long-lasting, does not include dates or event-specific information). Choose a custom-built exhibit that will be made from recycled or organic materials (e.g. vegetable-based inks, recycled plastics). If your exhibit will use any lighting fixtures, use LED's or compact fluorescent bulbs and ENERGY STAR certified fixtures. Ensure that any audio-visual equipment is ENERGY STAR certified and uses rechargeable batteries. Choose a design that does not use PVC or synthetic paints and varnishes. Have your exhibit made from materials that can eventually be recycled.

Print Materials:
Favour electronic materials over printed materials. Consider having files stored on a laptop and downloadable from a USB port, or making files available on your company website. Print on chlorine-free, 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Print with vegetable or soy-based ink. Print double-sided. Choose print materials that make efficient use of white space and avoid large solid areas of ink. Avoid the inclusion of event-specific dates and logos to ensure that print materials are reusable.

Other Promotional Items:
Choose items that are non-toxic and made from recycled materials. Choose items that are reusable, recyclable, or bio-degradable. Favour items that are minimally packaged or not packaged at all. Choose items that encourage sustainable behaviour (e.g. reusable shopping bags, refillable pens).

Transporting your exhibit:
Transport only what you really need. Consider sourcing some materials locally rather than shipping them. Use recyclable materials for packing your exhibit, such as cardboard boxes and paper. Ship in bulk to reduce the number of deliveries and the amount of packaging.

Dismantling your exhibit:
Reuse as much of your exhibit as possible, and take away materials that you do not hand out. Donate or sell reusable materials that you no longer need. Recycle other leftover materials wherever possible, including packing materials, display materials, and electronic waste. Deposit any biodegradable waste at a compost site.
