## Poster Session Guidelines

## Abstract Guidelines

-   Abstracts for posters should be 300 words or less, and include
    title, author(s), author(s) affiliation, author(s) email, and
    abstract text.

## Abstract Submission

Submit your abstract via email to Peter Nico, LBNL, at <PSNico@lbl.gov>
or John Bargar at <bargar@slac.stanford.edu>.

## Prepare Your Poster

Each presenter is provided with a 4-foot-high by 6-foot-wide poster
board. Poster boards have a 2.5 cm (1-inch) frame. Dimensions of the
useable work area are 1.2 meters high by 1.8 meters wide (4 feet high x
6 feet wide).

-   Place the title of your poster at the top of the poster board to
    allow viewers to identify your poster. Indicate title and authors\'
    names.

-   Highlight at least the first author's name, e-mail, and affiliation.

-   Prepare all diagrams or charts neatly and legibly beforehand in a
    size sufficient to be read at a distance of 2 meters. Paragraph and
    figure caption text should be AT LEAST 24-point font (0.9 cm height)
    and headers AT LEAST 36 point font (1.2 cm height). Use creativity
    by using different font sizes and styles, perhaps even color.

-   Use different colors and textures/symbols for each line or bar
    contained in your graph or chart. A serif font (e.g., Times) is
    often easier for reading main text, and a non-serif font (e.g.,
    Arial or Helvetica) for headers and figure labels.

-   Organize the paper on the poster board so it is clear, orderly, and
    self-explanatory. You have complete freedom in displaying your
    information in figures, tables, text, photographs, etc.

-   Use squares, rectangles, circles, etc., to group like ideas. Avoid
    cluttering your poster with too much text. Label different elements
    as I, II, III; or 1, 2, 3; or A, B, C, making it easier for a viewer
    to follow your display.

-   Include the background of your research followed by results and
    conclusions. A successful poster presentation depends on how well
    you convey information to an interested audience.
