2015 Workshop Poster Guidelines

Poster presentation guidelines for workshop participants' accepted abstracts:

  • First, please don’t forget to confirm via email to [email protected] that you will be able to give this presentation. If you can’t be there in person but know someone else who could present your poster, that is acceptable.
  • Please make sure to register for the workshop.
  • Poster presentations are a great way to showcase researchers’ work in an interactive format. We expect that approximately 30-40 posters will be displayed concurrently during the poster session October 31.

General poster guidelines:

  • Your poster should measure a maximum of .75 meters wide by 1 meter tall.
  • Posters should ideally be printed on a light background and on non-glossy paper.
  • Your poster should include the title of the presentation and list of authors.
  • Text should be legible from a distance of at least 3 meters. Use a large font size (recommended 20 point) and avoid the use of fancy fonts. Sans serif fonts, such as Veranda, are much easier to read than Serif fonts.
  • Use wide margins in order to make your poster legible.
  • Try to minimize the amount of text on your poster and include figures, tables, charts and photographs. Color is also preferred.
  • If possible, please include: an introduction, methods, results and discussion. 

Guidelines for student poster competition submissions:

  • The student poster competition will take place November 2, 2015. 
  • See specifications above.
