Poster Presentation Guidelines

Dimensions:

Maximum 36" × 48". The recommended poster format is a standard landscape poster.

Content:

• Title: The title of your poster should appear at the top with lettering of at least 42 pt font size. Below the title, place the names of authors and their affiliations.
• Text: Text should be readable from five feet away. Use a minimum font size of 17 pt. Keep the text brief.
• Figures: Each figure should have a brief caption. Figures should be numbered consecutively according to the order in which they are first mentioned in the poster. Make sure that the text and the visuals are well integrated.

The poster boards onsite will have a number that directly correlates with each poster in the conference program. Please place your poster on the assigned board.

Authors must print their poster and hang up and remove it before and after the poster session.

Oral Presentation Guidelines

• Plenary speaker: 55-minute presentation +5 minutes discussion
• Keynote speaker: 45-minute presentation +5 minutes discussion
• Invited speakers: 30-minute presentation + 5 minutes discussion

Presenters are required to upload their PowerPoint files to the conference computer at least 15 minutes before the presentation section.
