If
your abstract has been approved for a Poster Session you will
be required
to submit your poster in order to be included in the Conference.
Your uploaded poster file should be in a format that is viewable
from the CDROM. It can be an exact copy of what you will attach
to the display board described below – or a modified
format to be readable from the CDROM. The poster file can
be a .ppt, .doc, or .pdf and must be submitted no later than August 15, 2004.
All poster sessions must use the uniform, free-standing board provided.
Dimensions of the provided board are 36 x
48 inches divided into three panels. The middle portion of
the board is 24 inches wide with two wings each 12 inches wide.
The board will be placed on a table area of about 3 feet by
3 feet so that accompanying materials or visual aids may be
placed on the table. The poster board and table space
will be provided. Tape and glue will also be provided
to attach the posters to the poster board.
Display Tips
- Use simple, clear language.
- Keep fonts and page layout simple and uncluttered.
- Because of space constraints, text on the poster should
be in headline or outline format.
- Place more detailed information on accompanying documentation.
- Headline lettering should be readable from a distance of
3-4 feet.
- Plan to place the most important information at eye level
or higher.
- Eye-catching visual aids, charts, drawings, photographs,
and other illustrations are encouraged.
Special Notes
- Bring all material with you (except the board). Do
not plan to buy things on site.
- Plan to assemble the display about an hour before the poster
sessions open.
- Be prepared to give an informal presentation as attendees
cluster around your display.
- The purpose of the session is to provide more than an anonymous
idea exchange but less than an entire workshop
