Poster Creation Guidelines

Each presenter is provided with HALF of a 4-foot-high by 8-foot-wide poster board. The usable space for each presenter will be 4-foot-high (1.2 meters, 48 inches) by 4-foot-wide (1.2 meters, 48 inches).

- Place the title of your paper and the author’s names prominently at the top of the poster board to allow viewers to identify your presentation
- Highlight the author’s names, e-mails, and address information in case the viewer is interested in contacting you for more information.
- Prepare all diagrams or charts neatly and legibly in a size sufficient to be read at a distance of 2 meters. Paragraph and figure caption text should be AT LEAST 24-point font and headers AT LEAST 36 point font.
- Organize the paper on the board so it is clear, orderly and self-explanatory.
