2010 ANNUAL MEETING
POSTER SPECIFICATIONS

A poster presentation consists of research highlights that are visually presented on a moveable display. The area for displaying poster materials is 4 feet high by 4 feet wide.

The poster boards you will be displaying your work require you to use Velcro or push pins to set your poster up. Please do not exceed the 4ft x 4ft space allotted!

Please mount your poster next to your publication number (can be found in the final program, on-site). Your poster should set up by 9:00am on the day of your poster presentation and must be taken down after the Meet the Author Session. You should stay with your poster during the Meet the Author Session so attendees may confer with you.

You may bring your poster already assembled, or you may bring items to be individually posted. Don’t forget to bring Velcro or push pins!

Here are a few hints for good poster presentations:

Make your poster simple and eye-catching.
Use simple drawings, diagrams, graphs and/or photographs
Graphics should be explicit and brief
Have clean and attractive layouts
Use few panels, including an introduction/summary.
Simple use of color can add emphasis effectively.

The 6 best color combinations are:
Black on white
Red on white
Green on white
Blue on white
White on blue
White on black

Use large print and a minimum of text
Your poster should contain headings that organize and logically display the information.
Bring handouts for distribution (350 attendees are expected).
Keep abbreviations and jargon to a minimum.
