Poster Dimensions: Each author will share one side of a poster board with another author, half of a horizontal poster board with the useable area measuring 114 cm (45 inches) wide x 114 cm (45 inches) high. Vertical posters fit better, but you may choose a horizontal format that is no wider than the 45 in/114 cm width. Poster materials may not extend outside the assigned half-board.

Other notes on posters:

• The posters will be mounted to the boards using T-Pins.

• Your presentation should contain succinct headings that organize and logically display the information (e.g. 'Introduction,' 'Objectives,' 'Methods,' 'Results,' 'Conclusions').

• Summarize the research using graphics when possible (e.g. charts, tables, graphs, images, etc.). Minimize the amount of text. Elaboration is best done verbally -- just as if it were an oral presentation using slides. 

• The poster should be readable from distances of approximately 3’. Lettering should be at least 1" high.
