Requirements

IMPORTANT: The poster boards are vertical (portrait-style) this year. There will be two posters assigned per board (one on each side). Each presenter will have their own poster number assignment per the attached poster flyer.

IMPORTANT: The printer poster presentation cannot exceed 3.5 feet (width) by 3.75 feet (height) this year. There will be two posters assigned per board. The poster boards are 8 feet (width) x 4 feet (height). Each presenter will have their own poster side (4 feet x 4 feet) with their number assignment. Please do not allow your poster to exceed 3.5′ x 3.75′ (42″ x 45″) or it will encroach on the neighboring poster space.

Poster tacks/pins will be provided on site to hang each poster. 

Tips

Posters will be read from a distance. Charts, drawings, and illustrations should be similar to those you would use in making slides. Text should be in a large typeface. Typical poster printing sizes may be determined by the presenter as long the printed poster stays within the dimensions noted above.

Presenters may want to bring additional literature to post with poster. Tip: An envelope is helpful in which to hang additional materials. Another option is to include a QR code in the poster graphics that links to a paper or more detailed information.
