INSTRUCTIONS:
- Prepare your poster presentation so that it will fit within a 4’ X 6’ poster board.
- You will need to provide your own thumbtacks or push pins.
- Arrive at the poster area at least 30 minutes prior to the start of the session. This will allow ample time to organize your poster.
- To improve the reader’s ability to see the poster from 4 to 6 feet away, the font size used in the text portion of your poster should be at least 15-point. Larger font sizes can be used for titles and legends if preferable.
- The poster should include an abstract, introduction (with brief review of literature), purpose, methods, results, conclusions, and references. A 15-point font or larger should be used with all figures and tables. Figures and tables should be clean, and not overly crowded with data.
- Authors must be present at their poster for the time period specified in the final program.
- Posters must remain on the board until the end of the designated poster session time period. Authors should return within 30 minutes after this time to remove their poster.
