Poster Requirements

- Posters should include a poster title, information identifying the researcher(s) and their affiliation(s), an abstract, and a short summary of objectives, methodology, results and conclusions
- Posters should be put on the corkboard stands from 5:00pm Wednesday, September 20 through lunch on Thursday, September 21. The poster corkboard stands will be located in the Pinion & Billiard rooms in the Main building. Poster boards will be assigned and a list of these assignments will be posted in the Pinion & Billiard rooms, as well as available at the workshop registration desk. Posting materials will be supplied. All posters will stay up until Monday, September 25 at 6:30pm. Please be sure to take your poster off the stand after 6:30pm on Monday. All posters must be off the stands Monday evening.
- Senior scientists in the poster topic field will be invited to talk to each student during the poster session. Students should plan to stand with their posters in order to orally present them and answer questions
- When your Poster Abstract is accepted you will be asked to submit a short Poster Upload Form for your poster. Be prepared to upload a PDF of the poster AND a .jpg or .png image file of the poster. The image file is necessary in order for the Gallery to have the thumbnail images. It will automatically be added to the Poster Gallery on the website.
Poster Tips
- State the objectives at the start
- An abstract is not an introduction
- Assume viewers are not specialists on your topic
- Do not crowd the space with too many results (font size
- State conclusions for each figure nearby, not only at the end of the poster
- Emphasize the scientific significance and originality of your work
- Extract the essence of the work for the viewer, both orally and visually
