Poster Presentation Guidelines

The following are the guidelines for post presentation competition:

Maximum Number of posters: Two

Dimensions: 72-in wide X 48-in high.

Visibility: Prepare all diagrams and charts neatly and legibly in a size sufficient to be read at a distance of 2-meters.

Paragraph and Figure Caption Text: For printed text: AT LEAST 24-POINT FONT A serif font (e.g. Times or Times Roman) is often easier for reading main body text. For handwritten text: 0.9 cm height for each letter.

Headers: For printed text: AT LEAST 36-POINT FONT. A non-serif font (e.g. Arial or Helvetica) is good for use in headers and figure labels. For handwritten text: 1.2-cm height.

Colors: Use different colors, in combination with different font sizes and styles as well as different textures, to direct and focus attention.

Title: Place prominently at the top of the poster board to allow viewers to identify your paper easily.

Authors: Highlight authors' names, e-mail, and address information in the event the viewer is interested in contacting the author[s] for additional information.

Organization: Organize the paper on the poster so that it is clear, orderly, and self-explanatory. Label different elements [I, II, III...; or 1, 2, 3...; or A, B, C,...] in order to make it easier for the viewer to follow you work. PLEASE, don't clutter your poster with too much text! Look critically at the layout. If there is about 20% text, 40% graphics and 40% empty space, you are doing well.
