POSTER PRESENTATION GUIDE
Posters will be on display in the Poster Area located in the 4F Corridor. This year we will have three full day poster sessions. Each poster session is divided into two time slots, as follows:

Mornings: 09:30 am to 10:30 am (Posters with odd numbers will be presented)
Afternoons: 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm (Posters with even numbers will be presented)  

Posters must be posted in the morning between 7:30 am to 8:00 am. They must be removed between 5:00 pm to 5:30 pm at the end of the day. Therefore, each poster will be displayed for a full day (8:00 am – 5:00 pm)

Student Paper Competition (SPC) posters will be displayed in Room 101 on the first floor. To recognize an outstanding work of the students and their accomplishment, SPC posters will be on display for all three (3) days of the conference.  Student authors are required to be present for all six poster sessions to describe their work. Judges will review the SPC posters on Thursday only.

Poster Size and Instructions

• One poster board is allocated to each presentation. The recommended poster size is 36 inches high by 48 inches wide (92 cm x 122 cm).
• Posters must be mounted using supplies provided by the organizing committee.
• Each poster presenter is required to defend his/her poster during the respective poster session slot for the paper to be included in the conference proceedings.
• Simply posting the pages of your written version of the proceedings paper is not effective and thus not acceptable for your poster.
• The title of your poster paper should be done in block letters which are at least 8 to 10 cm (3 to 4 inches) high.
• All text must be easily readable from a distance of 1 to 2 meters. Make the lettering at least 1 cm high, smaller lettering will not be legible from a distance of 1 to 2 meters.
• All graphs and charts should be least 25 X 30 cm (approximately 8.5 x 11 inches) or larger.
• It is a good idea to sequentially number your materials in the poster. This will indicate to the viewer a logical progression through your poster.
• Provide an introduction (outline) and a summary or conclusion for your poster.
• Prepare your poster carefully so that it can be used as the basis to explain and answer questions from the viewers.
• It is helpful to have copies of your proceedings paper available for those who may want to study specifics of your work in more detail.
• Have your business cards or contact information available for those who may wish to contact you at a later date.
• Bring along a notepad to use for a discussion of technical details relating to your poster.
