Poster Display Guidelines

  • The poster should be put up during registration, Friday, September 14. The poster session will be held in the Flaum Atrium, which is adjacent to the meeting room. You should leave your poster up until lunch on Sunday. Please remove it promptly during the lunch break on Sunday as we will need to put away the easels and posterboards.
  • The posters should be prepared to fit on 5ft by 3.5ft foam core poster board that has a white background. You may print your poster with either portrait or landscape orientation.
  • All boards will be numbered. Attach your poster to the board that corresponds to your number on the "Poster Presentations" list in the program booklet.
  • We will have a supply of pushpins available at the registration desk should you be unable to bring your own. Do not use tape.
  • Do not try to mount heavy materials, as they will have difficulty staying attached to the foam core poster board.
