Guidelines for Presenting at Poster Sessions

1. What should be the size and material of the poster?
   The poster board should be the standard stiff board, with three sides, and able to stand alone (i.e. - without an easel).   
    
2. What should I bring besides the poster?
   We recommend you bring about 30 copies of your handout materials. Do not bring slides or transparencies, because no equipment beyond poster boards and pins are provided in the poster area.   
    
3. How do poster sessions work?
   You can put your poster up early in the day, allowing others to view your work all day. Your poster space will be first come first serve in accordance with the specified areas where posters are to be set out. During the time allotted to poster session, you should stand by your poster in order to answer questions and engage in discussions with attendees who will circulate around the poster session. Make sure you take down your poster by the end of the day.   
      
4. What are the ingredients of a good poster? Good posters:
