Poster presentation

If your Scientific Communication or Clinical Case has been accepted for presentation at the AVEPA-SEVC 2026 National Congress, you must present your work in two formats: DIGITAL and PRINTED. Both versions must be identical.


1. CONGRESS REGISTRATION

In order to present an accepted work, at least one of the authors must be registered for the AVEPA-SEVC 2026 National Congress by 30 October 2026.

Presentation and publication of the poster are subject to compliance with this requirement.

Only one of the authors may benefit, where applicable, from the special registration fee established for poster authors.

Important: the “POSTER AUTHOR” registration category does not provide access to the Congress. If the author presenting the poster wishes to attend the scientific programme and other Congress activities, they must hold a registration category that includes Congress access.


2. PREPARE THE CONTENT OF YOUR POSTER

  • The text must be the same as the text that was accepted.
  • The poster must contain the same text with which the work was accepted by the Scientific Committee.
  • Once the work has been accepted, no changes may be made to its content, except for those specifically requested during the evaluation process.
  • If you plan to expand the study and submit it for publication at a later stage, please remember that the poster should include only the short abstract of a maximum of 250 words, in order to avoid potential conflicts with future scientific publication.

You may complement the poster with:

  • Clinical photographs or images.
  • Radiographs, ultrasound images or other diagnostic tests.
  • Tables.
  • Graphs.
  • Diagrams.
  • Bibliographic references.
  • A QR code.

The QR code may link, for example, to:

  • A video related to the work.
  • Complementary audiovisual material.
  • Bibliography or additional references.
  • Additional information directly related to the work.

The authors are solely responsible for any content accessed through the QR code.


3. DESIGN YOUR POSTER

AVEPA-SEVC provides authors with an official template to facilitate poster preparation.

FORMAT

  • Orientation: portrait.
  • Size: 90 cm wide × 160 cm high.
  • Language: Spanish or English.

OFFICIAL TEMPLATE

Access the poster template

The template includes an official AVEPA-SEVC header, which must not be modified or removed.

Below the header, you will find the spaces intended for the TITLE OF THE WORK and AUTHORS.

From this point onwards, you may organise the remaining content of the poster in the way you consider most appropriate.

The official template has been created in Canva to make it easy to use and to allow the poster to be prepared directly online.

A paid Canva account is not required.

Once you access the template, create your own copy before you start editing it.

DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS

Remember that a poster should be easy to read from a reasonable distance.

We recommend:

  • Using a simple and easy-to-read typeface.
  • Avoiding excessively small font sizes.
  • Organising the information using headings and subheadings.
  • Avoiding overly dense blocks of text.
  • Maintaining good contrast between the text and the background.
  • Leaving sufficient space between the different sections.
  • Using images, tables and graphs whenever they help explain the work.
  • Using high-resolution photographs and images.
  • Avoiding screenshots or low-quality images.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT IMAGES

Please note that the poster will be printed at 90 × 160 cm.

An image that looks correct on a computer screen may not have sufficient resolution when printed at a large size.

Whenever possible, use the original files of photographs, radiographs, graphs or images.

Once the final poster has been submitted, subsequent changes cannot be guaranteed.


4. DIGITAL POSTER

All accepted works must have a digital version, which will be published on the Congress platform.

You will receive a personalised email with instructions for submitting the digital poster.

DOWNLOAD - Download your design in PDF FORMAT (In Canva: Share → Download → PDF)

FILE NAME – The file name should contain only the poster code number.

DEADLINE - Deadline for uploading the digital poster: 30 October 2026

AUDIO PRESENTATION - The platform allows you to complement the digital poster with a short audio presentation recorded by the author. This option is voluntary.


5. PRINTED POSTER

You must bring a printed copy of the same poster to the Congress.

The printed version must be identical to the digital version previously submitted.

SIZE

90 cm wide × 160 cm high
Portrait format.

Posters exceeding these dimensions will not be accepted.

PRINTING MATERIAL

We recommend printing the poster on paper. We suggest using an approximate paper weight of 120–150 g/m².

The material must allow the poster to be securely attached to the display panel.

AVOID HEAVY MATERIALS

We do not recommend printing the poster on: fabric, heavy banner material, foam board, rigid board or other heavy or rigid materials.

These materials may make it difficult or impossible to attach the poster correctly to the display panels provided by the organisation.

Printing and transporting the poster to the Congress are the responsibility of the authors.

DISPLAY YOUR POSTER AT THE CONGRESS

Posters must be displayed in the Poster Area provided by the organisation.

Each work will have a designated display space.

Find the panel corresponding to: Your poster number/code + the assigned speciality.

Do not place your poster on a panel other than the one assigned to you.

The organisation will provide the necessary materials to attach posters to the panels.

WHEN CAN I PUT UP MY POSTER?

Date: 19 November 2026
Time: From 13:00 onwards

Posters must be correctly displayed before the official poster presentation session.

PRESENT YOUR WORK

The official poster session will take place on Friday, 20 November 2026 at 19:00.

During this period, the main author or one of the co-authors must be present next to the poster in order to:

  • Explain the work.
  • Answer questions from attendees.
  • Respond to any questions from members of the Scientific Committee or evaluators.

ATTENDANCE IS MANDATORY

Presentation of the work during the poster session is a mandatory condition associated with acceptance of the work.

Uploading the digital poster or displaying the printed poster does not replace the requirement to be present during the scheduled poster session.

If no author is present during the presentation session, the work will be considered not presented.

REMOVE YOUR POSTER

Authors are responsible for removing their poster at the end of the exhibition period.

Date: Saturday, 21 November 2026

Posters that have not been removed by the stated deadline will be considered abandoned.

In such cases, the organisation will assume that the author does not wish to recover the poster and may remove and dispose of it.

AVEPA-SEVC accepts no responsibility for posters that are not collected and will not arrange subsequent shipment.


6. POSTER PUBLICATION

The AVEPA Scientific Committee also reserves the right to publish the abstracts of the works presented:

  • On the AVEPA website.
  • In AVEPA's official journal, Clínica Veterinaria de Pequeños Animales.

The journal coordinator may select works accepted at AVEPA-SEVC for possible subsequent publication.

In these cases, AVEPA will contact the selected authors to confirm their interest and, where appropriate, request an expanded version of the work for review and possible publication.

Awards

Accepted abstracts will be independently and blindly evaluated by two reviewers, who will assess:

  • Originality of the topic
  • Practical application
  • Scientific rigor

Subsequently, the three papers with the highest score in each category will be evaluated by a Jury, which will decide which abstracts will receive the award for the best paper, according to the following categories:

  •  ARTUR FONT Award for Best Scientific Communication
  • Best Clinical Case Award
  • Young Veterinarian Incentive Award (first author up to 29 years of age)

The Jury will consist of three veterinarians of recognized prestige, chosen by the Scientific Director of AVEPA. These veterinarians may be members of the AVEPA Scientific Committee or veterinarians not members of the Committee invited to participate. Scientific Communications Coordinators will not be members of the Jury.

The Scientific Committee reserves the right to declare any category void and to award additional prizes.

The prize will consist of 500 euros in cash and a certificate. The winning entries will be announced to the authors during the conference.

Publications

All accepted abstracts will be published in image format on the conference platform.

The Scientific Committee reserves the right to publish the abstracts in AVEPA's official journal, "Clínica Veterinaria de Pequeños Animales," or on the AVEPA website, following their presentation at the conference.The coordinator of the journal "Clínica Veterinaria de Pequeños Animales" will select the papers accepted by SEVC for possible publication in the journal. AVEPA will contact the authors to request, if they are interested, that they expand the text for review and publication in the journal.
