Posters are particularly welcomed on the conference themes, but also posters may be offered on any other theme relevant to conservation in UK Overseas Territories, Crown Dependencies, the overseas entities of other states or small independent states.

It is planned that posters will be available to view online throughout much of the conference, and that conference participants will be able to post questions (viewable by other participants) to which the poster presenter can later post answers (also viewable by other participants). In addition, it is planned that there will be at least one 1-hour session at which poster-presenters are asked to be online, so that response to the text comments can be made live.

Posters may be submitted by the following:

• UKOTCF member and associate organisations;
• members of the topic session teams;
• invited speakers who have accepted the invitation to speak and supplied the abstract and any ideas of conclusions or recommendations on the topic for consideration by the topic drafting team;
• approved financial sponsors of the conference or those who have paid a poster fee (this route is required for any posters which include advertising material, items for sale or other commercial material);
• any others who have registered to participate in the conference and, where required, paid the appropriate conference fee.
• in some circumstances we may allow posters outlining work in the UKOTs without the author(s) participating in the conference; this is subject to space, layout and approval by conference organisers (In any event please contact the organisers to discuss this).

We hope to be able to offer a small prize for the best student poster. If you wish your poster to be considered for this, please indicate when you submit the poster application.
