Each person will receive a poster space approximately 4 feet wide and 4 feet high. Please make sure that your presentation fits into that space. Prepare your text by condensing, abbreviating, numbering, and bulleting important points. Text should be 18 point font or larger. Additional hand-outs in large font should be available on request.
Bold print is recommended as it is easier to read at a distance.
Prepare a banner in very large type with a descriptive title, authors, and their affiliations. The banner should be situated high enough on the poster so that it can be seen above people's heads from approximately 15 to 20 feet away. Bracket the poster with an introduction at the beginning and list of conclusions at the end. Typically, people will read only those two parts of the poster. Make the flow of information on the poster explicit, and organize the poster in columns running down the poster, rather than in rows.
