Posters are large, typically 48 in. x 36 in. in landscape orientation. Check the conference requirements to decide the poster size, and check with the printer to choose the appropriate file type.
Quick Response (QR) codes can be added to link resources such as an electronic version of your poster, supplemental materials, an academic paper, a personal or lab webpage, a survey, your contact information, etc. Once added to the poster, individuals can scan the code with their phone. QR codes should be at least 5" x 5" large on your poster. Try Adobe Express's Free QR Code Generator.
