Preparing your poster
You will share one side of an 8 foot by 4 foot poster board with one other person. Therefore, your poster should be no larger than 4 feet by 4 feet.
A poster presentation is a visual presentation and should not have too many details or too much text. Please use simple graphics. Make the text large – 25 point – to be visible from 4-6 feet. The title, appearing across the top of the poster, should be clearly visible from a distance of 10 feet. A light background with dark print is preferable as it is easy to read. A good poster layout has 3 to 5 columns, with material arranged vertically from top left corner to bottom right corner. This makes it easier for people to read, without having to move back and forth.

At the conference
Please check the program guide for the time and location of your poster session. On the day of your presentation, you are expected to put up your poster by 8:30am and remove it after the last session (around 5 pm). You are expected to stand at your poster during the time indicated in the program. Your board will be labeled: look for your name in the lower corner. Tacks for attaching your poster to the board will be provided. You can leave their poster tubes under the posterboards during the day, but should collect the tubes at the end of the day.
