The Conference programme will include a poster session to provide a platform to planters, scientists, researchers, postgraduate and undergraduate students to share their research and observations in order to obtain feedback through interaction with local and international participants.
The poster papers should relate to the palm oil industry covering any of the following main topics:
i. Business Strategies
– Plantation Management, Plantation Enterprise Competition.
ii. Innovation and Technology
– Palm Oil By-products, Narrowing Performance Gap, Automation and Mechanisation Issues.
iii. Promotion and Marketing

– Contribution of Palm Oil to SDG Goals, Forced Labour Issues, EU’s Green Deal Proposal
The Conference Organising Committee invites authors to submit their extended summary in English of not less than 500 words before 15 April 2023 to stmalar@isp.org.my. A selection committee will review the poster papers and notification of acceptance will be forwarded to successful authors. The successful authors will then have to submit a “full paper” by 15 April 2023 following the guidelines which will be given.
Each poster will be on display throughout the period of the Conference. Authors presenting poster papers will be required to be in attendance at their poster stand during the time allotted. Allocated time will be during the Conference tea breaks. Thereafter, the authors will be invited to join the Q&A session to answer any queries from participants with respect to the subject matter presented.

The presentations are an integral part of the Conference and therefore due care must be exercised to ensure high quality presentation.
– Contents of a poster presentation.
The poster will usually have a title (72 point size), name, affiliation, contact information of the presenter(s) besides introduction, results, discussion and conclusion.
– The introduction should be brief but provide sufficient information to understand the purpose of the study.
– Discussion and results can be limited to a few key findings to validate the conclusions
– Section headings should be at least 36 point size.
Layout of a poster presentation
– A poster presentation will only have a good impact if it is well designed.
– All letterings of titles should be large enough to catch a reader’s attention. Letterings of the text should be large enough to be easily read from a distance of 1.5 m. Use bulleted lists where possible instead of paragraphs. Use italics instead of underlining, or black lettering instead of a light coloured rectangle. The text should be concise enough to be read in less than 10 minutes.
– There should be a limited number of items in a table. Graphic illustrations such as figures, concise tables, diagrams, photographs, and maps should be clearly labelled with a brief title.
– There should be simple links between tables, illustrations and text.
– Use tack-and-stick reusable adhesive, mounting tabs or tape to attach materials to the boards provided.
