Poster Information

GUIDELINES FOR POSTER PRESENTATION:

1. The poster board surface area is a maximum of 42 inches wide by 45 inches high (106cm x 114cm).

2. Push pins and velcro will be provided for you to affix your poster to the display boards.

3. You may hand out information sheets to those viewing your poster.

4. Poster material must be prepared in advance and should be large enough to be viewed from a distance of 3.28' (1 meter) or more.

5. Each poster must have a top label indicating the title of the paper, the names of the authors and their affiliations. The size of the characters for the title should be at least one inch high.

6. Keep illustrative material simple. Charts, drawings and illustrations may be similar to those used in marking slides - preferably with bolder, heavier figures. Should be mounted on fairly stiff paper - but NOT heavy cardboard.

7. "Introduction" and "Conclusion" sections are usually helpful. When feasible, use graphs for demonstrating qualitative relationships, tables of precise numerical values. Photographs should be in a matte finish, not glossy.

8. Do not fold posters; try to carry them in an appropriate container. Do not mail poster presentations in advance; bring them with you to the Meeting.

9. Meeting staff will be present to assist you.
