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).
- 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. Click here for a poster board image for reference.
- Each presentation is assigned to one side of the board.

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.
