The Scenario
Presenters at the Poster Session are allocated a space, usually either one side of a free-standing poster board, or wall space. Plan on having roughly a 4 foot tall by 6 foot wide space, but presenters will rarely use that much space.
The session runs from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm on Friday, 17 April here in the Science Center, starting in the lobby of Physicians Auditorium. You need to have your poster ready before 1:00. You will also need to be present a significant portion of the time to answer questions.
Tips
The term "posters" is actually a misnomer. They can be prepared on single sheets of standard sized paper, or on special large sizes. You can post individual sheets, or have them pre-posted on an actual poster board. The essence is that you
Communicate with a diverse audience!
In general you:
- Use very large type (perhaps 24 point)
- Don't have a lot of dense text
- Do use pictures, graphs, and charts
- Clearly state your motivation and results
- Have it visually appealing, but not distractingly so
Remember your audience!
