The Poster Sessions - Organizing Your Information
Set Up: After 2 PM the day of your session.
If you have a scheduling issue please update the comments section in your abstract/registration.
Presenters must be available with their posters during their scheduled session to discuss their research with interested viewers. All accepted abstracts will be published in the Conference Program and Abstract publication. The Poster Sessions are a great showcase forum to inform colleagues, researchers, members of the press and other interested parties of your basic and clinical research projects.

Organizing your Information
Focus on the introduction, methods, results and discussion, summary, and references. Make a small-scale sketch of your
poster to ascertain if all the points you want to stress as well as headlines, text, figures and tables, photos, etc., will fit into the
dimensions allowed. The poster should start in the upper left hand corner and flow generally from left to right and from top
to bottom. The title, author name(s) and affiliation are often at the top of the poster. If necessary, use letters, numbers, or arrows
to indicate proper flow to the audience.
Content
Do not crowd too much information into the presentation; concentrate on a few main points. Highlight trends and comparisons
with simplified graphics and diagrams. Often it is better to use outlines and bullets than paragraphs. Avoid overwhelming the
audience with too many numbers, words, or complicated graphs. Make certain your message is clear because people will
study your poster while you are away.
Lettering
All lettering should be easily read from a distance of 1 meter (4-5 feet) Use a bold or semi bold typeface for headings and labels.
Lettering for subheads and figure captions should be larger than that of the main text but smaller than the main heading.
Text in upper- and lower-case letters is more readable than all capitals, but capitals for headings and labels are acceptable.
Use sans serif type such as Arial or Lucida Sans for text. It is much easier to read than serif type such as Courier.
All posters should feature a title, your name, and the name of the institution where the research was performed and should credit others, as appropriate. The title lettering should be about 2” to 3” (5” to 7.5”) with subheadings ½” to 1” high (1.25 to 2.5 cm).
Mounting = USE THUMB TACKS or PUSH PINS ONLY
Do not use double sided tape, glue or Velcro.
Use push pins only. ******************************* (basic pushpins will be supplied)
You may not mark, paste, mount or write on any of these boards.
No adhesives. No Foam Boards. No Nails.
Please remove your poster after your session
To summarize:
-
Use large, easy-to-read sans-serif letters
- Include clear figures and tables and artwork
- Do not just paste-up typed pages from a paper/document
- Remember that a Poster Session is more like an informal discussion.
-
The discussion may begin with a question from an interested person.
-
You may initiate a discussion by pointing out the particular figure that depicts
the essential conclusions of your paper and allow questions and answers to flow from that point.
