Inside tcbposter P. 396 , there are several predefined TikZ nodes.

These nodes share a common

/tcb/poster/prefix P. 398 which is TCBPOSTER@ by default. This prefix is used to discriminate
the poster nodes from local nodes of any embedded tikzpicture environment. You will never
need this prefix using \posterbox P. 401 and its placement options, but if you want to refer to
a predefined node using pure TikZ code. The predefined nodes (shown without prefix) are:
poster: defines the bounding box of the poster (without the coverage).
top: top position plus row spacing
bottom: bottom position minus row spacing
middle: vertical middle position
col1, col2, . . . : bounding box of column 1, column 2, . . .
row1, row2, . . . : bounding box of row 1, row 2, . . .
Further nodes are defined using the /tcb/posterloc/name P. 402 option.

Never use a tcbposter P. 396 inside a tcbposter P. 396 . But, if you do anyway, use a
! different /tcb/poster/prefix P. 398 for the embedded poster or you surely get a total
mess.

There are several properties inside a tcbposter P. 396 which may be useful for advanced code
(skip the following on first reading):
\tcbposterwidth: Width of the poster (without margins).
\tcbposterheight: Height of the poster (without margins).
\tcbpostercolspacing: Column distance.
\tcbposterrowspacing: Row distance.
\tcbpostercolumns: Column quantity.
\tcbposterrows: Row quantity.
\tcbpostercolwidth: Width of a column.
\tcbposterrowheight: Height of a row.

ple, the numbers for rows and columns may be defined for the whole document by this:

\tcbposterset{poster={columns=2,rows=3}}
