Poster Preparation Instructions

For optimal exposure, posters should be on display beginning at 4:00 PM on Sunday, October 16, 2011. Your presence, and/or that of a co-author, during the poster session in which your abstract is assigned is particularly important since this is when conference participants will plan to meet you to discuss your work. The exhibits are open during this time as well. The exhibits and poster display close at 12:00 NOON on Tuesday. All posters must be removed immediately after the Exhibit Hall closes at 12:00 NOON on Tuesday. It is the responsibility of the poster presenter to remove the poster. Failure to do so could result in damage to or loss of the unclaimed poster.

Poster Presentation Guidelines

1. It takes considerable effort and attention to detail to prepare an effective poster presentation. We ask that you take the time to make yours interesting and informative.
2. Your poster must fit within 4 feet x 4 feet square space.
3. Posters should use font sizes large enough to be read from a distance of 1 meter.
4. Each poster should be organized as follows:
1. A top label indicating the title of the paper (should be the same as the abstract title), with names of the authors and their affiliations.
2. A summary should be located on the lower right portion and contain not more than 5 items.
3. Charts should be simple with bold lines.
5. A handout of each poster is appreciated.

Poster sessions will be located in the Exhibit Hall. The poster boards will be horizontal with dimensions of 8 feet wide by 4 feet tall. Each poster board will have two posters. Your presentation must not be larger than 4 feet by 4 feet. Push pins will be provided on-site to attach your poster to the board.

Poster Board Size: 8 feet (2.43 m) long by 4 feet (1.22 m) tall.
Presentation Size: 4 feet (1.22m) long by 4 feet (1.22 m) tall.
