Those would have to be really huge posters (ceiling to floor?) to contain that much text and still be comfortably readable. I go for less. Information has to be distilled to its most basic. The intro/purpose/significance should be just 3 to 5 short-medium length sentences. In the Results section, just choose the most relevant results/discussion instead of trying to squeeze a huge project into that small space. But that's just me. I tend to be a minimalist when it comes to posters. Seeing so much clutter on a poster makes me dizzy. The posters on the last two websites you mentioned contains too much text.
