Guidelines for Making Poster Presentations
All posters will be displayed in the Fireside Pavillion under the Fred Farr Forum. Please set up your poster immediately after lunch the day of your poster session. Two authors will share a 4’ x 8’ poster board. Each author will have a net useable space of 3’ 8” (111.8cm) high x 3’ 8” (111.8cm) wide.
All abstracts will be up for one day. Authors of ODD numbered posters should be at their poster from 7:30 pm – 8:30 pm and authors of even numbered posters should be at the posters from 8:30 pm – 9:30 pm. Authors will present according to the following schedule:

All presenters should remove their abstracts at the end of their poster session. After that time, remaining posters will be removed and may be lost or thrown away. The meeting does not take responsibility for posters that are not removed on time.
Guidelines for Preparing Effective Posters
- Authors can include a picture of themselves to facilitate registrants finding them to discuss their work after the day of their presentation.
- Posters should be designed to summarize current research in graphic forms: charts, tables, graphs, pictures, etc. Simple use of color can add effective emphasis.
- Make the title large enough to be read easily from a reasonable distance (~ 4 feet).
- Use a font size that can be read easily at a distance. Using a font that is too small is the single most common error in poster preparation! If there's not enough space to fit all the text, shorten the text.
- Details of methodology should be brief and should be placed at the end of the legend. Many successful posters provide a bulleted list of conclusions and questions raised.
- Some references should be provided, but they need not be as extensive as those in papers. References supply interested parties with routes into the literature and provide the proper context for your work.
- Audiovisual equipment is not permitted in the poster board area.
- The poster schedule may not be altered. If there is a conflict in presentation times, you must cancel your presentation or change presenters.
