Posters should not reach to the ankles

This post is not a criticism of the posters in the picture below.

Two very tall posters that reach to the ground.

Skinny posters are difficult to layout. And this is quite possibly the most extreme aspect ratio I have ever seen for conference posters.

To get the full effect of the size and placement of these posters, I think we need a human for scale.

Two very tall posters with a presenter standing in front of them. The posters extend above the head of the presenter to the ground.

I cannot believe in this day and age that anyone expects to have someone get down on their knees to read the bottom of a poster or to scan those little QR codes in the corner. 

Organizers, please do not allow this to be the format your require for your posters.

From the social media site that used to be good then turned very bad.
