Instructions for Poster Presenters

February 9, 2009 – 12:50 pm

If you are presenting a poster, please make sure the poster is ready by the time your poster session starts.   Posters should be less than 42 inches by 30 inches in size to comfortably fit on the easels and poster boards.  We will provide pushpins for mounting posters. Please do not use any other material for mounting purposes (e.g. adhesive or tape). Please take down your poster at the end of your session if you wish to keep it.

In addition, each poster presenter will participate in a poster “teaser” session. The teaser session gives you the opportunity to speak for 90 seconds about your poster to excite the other HRI attendees about your work.  In order to participate in your teaser session, you must email one slide in PDF format to the late-breaking abstracts co-chair, Kristen Stubbs (kristen.stubbs@gmail.com), on or before Monday, March 9. The name of the file should be the presenter’s last name, an underscore character, and the HRI submission number (i.e., Stubbs_205.pdf).
