Poster Requirements
Each poster presenter whose abstract was accepted for one of the Annual Meeting poster sessions will be provided with a free-standing easel, a 30" x 40" foam core board (3/16" thick), and clips to attach the poster to the board. The most successful posters are those that have an uncluttered layout and large graphics. Posters may be positioned either vertically or horizontally. Do not count on the availability of electrical outlets. Presenters will be assigned to one of the two poster sessions, either Thursday (Feb. 7), 5:45 to 7:00 p.m., or Friday (Feb. 8) 5:30-7:00 pm. You will be able to set up one hour early on a first-come, first-served basis.
