Preparation Guidelines
A poster presentation consists of a visual display combined with an interpersonal question and answer period. The content of an effective poster presentation should be direct, focused, and concise.
Posters must be no larger than 36 inches (0.91m) high and 48 inches (1.2m) wide in landscape orientation. Do not mount your poster on thick poster board as it may be too heavy for pushpins or too rigid for the tri-fold display.
