Exhibit Floor Plan with Poster Sections
Presentation Guidelines
- Your poster must correspond to the title and content of the abstract you submitted.
- Please display your assigned presentation ID prominently in the title area of the poster.
- Each presentation is assigned to one side of the board, whether invited or not.
- It is NOT acceptable to merely post a copy of your paper. Such presentations will be marked as a “no-show” presentation.
- Poster presenters are expected to arrange their material on poster boards before the session starts, see setup and dismantle times further below.
- Presenters may bring pre-prints or handouts and make them available on the poster board.
- There are no parallel oral sessions during the poster sessions.
- Authors will be permitted to view other posters in the nearby area where posters of similar topic are clustered. Please keep in mind that authors are expected to be available for attendees.
- If you have more than one poster and they are not side by side, then you need to spread your time over all poster presentations. Please place a note on the poster board of your other location(s) and the time you expect to be present. Please also inform the session chair(s).
Poster Board Information
- Each horizontal poster board measures 4 ft (48 inches, 121 cm) (height, top to bottom) x 8 ft (96 inches, 243 cm) (width, right to left), and has two sides (front and back).
- Each presentation is assigned to one side of the board, whether invited or not.
- Your poster must be designed to fit within the confines of a 3.6 ft (43 inches, 110 cm) high x 7.6 ft (91 inches, 232 cm) wide poster board and consist of materials that can be mounted easily with push pins.
Abstract Changes, Corrections, and Withdrawal
- Abstract content changes to your accepted entry in the program must be submitted to the conference management and approved by the Program Chairs before August 1, 2024. Please include your Abstract Control ID or Presentation ID in the subject line of your email.
- After August 1, 2024, only requests to the presenting author will be considered.
- Changes to the presenting author can only be requested by the abstract submitter (usually the corresponding author).
- If you need to withdraw your abstract, please contact Centennial Conferences via e-mail. Please include the reason for withdrawing and provide your Abstract Control ID or Presentation ID in the e-mail subject line.
Manuscript Consideration
- Authors are invited to submit a manuscript to the special conference issue of the IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity (TAS).
- Manuscript submission is not a requirement of making a presentation at the conference.
- Presentation of your work in the published ASC 2024 program is required for a manuscript to be considered for peer review.
- The presentation should be given at the appointed time in the program, by the appointed presenter.
- For posters, presentation means that an author is available during the duration of the poster session to discuss the work and answer questions. Posting of the pages of the manuscript does not constitute presentation.
- Presentation does not guarantee a published manuscript.
- Changes to the program, which have been approved by the ASC 2024 Program Chairs, will be allowed for submitted manuscripts.

Recommendations for Presentation Clarity
- A concise and to-the-point title.
- Organized to guide the observer through information in a logical order.
- Provides the motivation, objectives and approach of the research.
- Summarizes the key results and highlights the impact of the work.
- Proper use of colors, graphics, figures, text and white space.
- Moderate use of long text blocks.
- Proper text scaling for comfortable viewing by a number of people at the same time from a distance of about 3 feet (~ 1 meter).
- To ensure visual effectiveness of your poster, use large lettering and a minimum of text. Use of color can visually enhance your poster.
- Efficient use of graphics to convey complex information.
Recommendations for Technical Merit
- Plan your poster to be in logical sequence, i.e., introduction, study design and methods, data collected, conclusion.
- The work presented is novel (e.g., novel material, novel device, novel conversion mechanism, novel theoretical approach, novel characterization method, etc.).
- Systematic analysis conducted to arrive at results.
- Conclusions supported by the data.
