Please prepare your poster to communicate the main points of your work to stimulate discussion with your viewers using the following guidelines:
Your poster must be no larger than 4’ high x 8 feet wide.
Place the poster title at the top of the poster board in 1" high letters
Please indicate the presenting author in the author block (bold, underline, asterisk, etc.)
Push pins will be provided to mount your poster to the poster board. You are also welcome to bring your own push pins.
Do not mount materials on heavy board because it will be difficult to affix the materials to the poster board. Keep presentation as lightweight as possible.
Poster presentations should be simple and to the point. Use a minimum amount of clear text. Avoid jargon.
Make sure the poster is easy to read. Use large, BOLD fonts. Text color should highly contrast the background color for legibility for all attendees including those who are colorblind.
Include section headings to direct the reader’s attention.
Catch your reader’s attention with accent colors for contrast and to highlight main points.
Use borders or white space to separate sections and increase legibility.
Use simple figures (graphs, charts, illustrations and photographs) to illustrate your point. Make sure to include captions.
Summarize your results/findings with bullet points.
