What to include when printing conference posters

There are many aspects to take into account when you are in charge of handling all the conference printing. If you need to design a poster promoting your conference, it is the perfect opportunity to set the entire tone of the event. Although it might be tempting to go all out with the design and printing of the conference Posters, you may need to apply some restraint to prevent the poster from evolving into something too playful.


There is important information that needs to be included in the design of the poster. Using colours in the design is strongly recommended as it will draw attention and can emphasise certain information. Don not be tempted to use too many different graphics, colour combinations and fonts.


When designing the poster to promote your conference, keep the following in mind:




  • When and where: These age old questions are an important element that needs to be displayed prominently on the poster. Where the conference is being held (along with the date and time) is the basic information you need to include in your conference printing materials.

  • Tailor your approach: Chances are your conference will not be open to the general public. If this is the case you can tailor your conference printing to the prospective attendees you want to target. This can become a fun exercise as you can play around with jargon and terms that they will be familiar with.

  • Special instructions: If you are promoting a team building conference or a conference that requires your attendees to bring along their laptops or tablets, state this prominently. With team building conferences the attendees might be required to bring along bathing suits and towels or other specific items.
