Preparing Poster Presentations

• Posters must exhibit a “professional” look.
• Visuals must conform to the interior dimensions of the board (44.5” high x 91” wide).
• Do not use heavy board or backing as these materials will not adhere.
• Prepare the board with title and author(s) at the top.
• All lettering should be one inch high, minimum.
• All illustrations, charts, tables, and drawings must be simple and clear. Use heavy lines and color for emphasis. The information should be readable from a distance of three feet.
• Display material in a logical sequence; use arrows or numbers to direct readers.
• Handouts that supplement the research may be provided; a shared table is available for placement. Presenters are responsible for developing, shipping and displaying their handouts.    
• Velcro and push pins are provided on site for mounting; permanent adhesives are prohibited.
